Each of these women shares wisdom about how to become a stronger follower of Christ through prayer. Michele and Emily are both busy working married mothers who can identify and have struggled with many different obstacles to prayer.
One aspect of this book that I enjoyed is that it encourages writing in a prayer journal, something I used to do on a regular basis. I'd gotten out of the habit, but this inspired me to get back into it. There are several self-reflection questions throughout that would also be wonderful for group sharing if you were so inclined.
In most chapters, there is the brief bio of a saint included along with some simple tips to deeper prayer which that person lived out. In Pray Fully the authors explain how some basic prayer practices of the Catholic faith done regularly can make a tremendous difference in your spiritual life. These include the daily Examen, doing Lectio Divina, praying the Our Father, Adoration before the Blessed Sacrament as well as praying the Rosary and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy.
To be honest, there wasn't a prayer type in here that I have not encountered somewhere else, but being reminded of the power of getting back to basics is something I for one could certainly stand to benefit from.
I highly recommend this book. For more info about Pray Fully or to obtain your own copy, click here.
