In this final book written before his death, C. S. Lewis continue to challenge readers to revisit the power of prayer in our everyday lives.

Within twenty-two letters between fictitious correspondents, Lewis shares his understanding of the role of prayer in our lives and the ways in which we might better imagine our relationship with God. As with all his bestselling works, C.S. Lewis once again communicates deep wisdom through profound story.

‘Apart from The Screwtape Letters, it may well prove to be the most profound of CS. Lewis’s many essays’ 
Saturday Review
 
‘Splendid, glorious stuff, the product of a luminous and original mind, tough and honest in facing the agonizing questions raised inevitably by any consideration of prayer’ 
—The Church Times

‘He has quite a unique power for making theology an attractive, exciting and fascinating quest.’
—Times Literary Supplement

“C. S. Lewis is the ideal persuader for the half-convinced, for the good man who would like to be a Christian but finds his intellect getting in the way.”
—New York Times

“Lewis, perhaps more than any other twentieth-century writer, forced those who listened to him and read his works to come to terms with their own philosophical presuppositions.”
—Los Angeles Times
