Holding in the light - What is Prayer? by Jennifer Kavanagh

Jennifer Kavanagh presents her new book “Do Quakers Pray?” (Quaker Quicks series) - an overview of prayer in different cultures and traditions, grounded in the perspective and experience of contemporary Quakers. She looks at the differences and similarities between worship and prayer and her brilliant, wonderfully inclusive description of what is happening in Quaker meeting for worship is worth the cover price alone.
In so many ways this book is an invitation ‘to pray as we can, not as we can’t’. Do Quakers pray? Well, the answer is yes, despite a cautiousness around prayer which this wise, timely (and deceptively slim) volume seeks to address.
Although written for Quakers this book is definitely of interest to anyone questioning ‘who or what we pray to’. This is an important book, an intelligent and challenging guide for a questioning age.
Jennifer Kavanagh gave up her career as a literary agent to work in the community in London's East End. She is a speaker and prolific writer on the Spirit-led life and an Associate Tutor at Woodbrooke Quaker Study Centre. She lives in London, UK.
