Beginning Monday in Easter week, the Diocese of Georgia will offer a 1Book1Diocese read of Beginning to Pray by Anthony Bloom.

“Clear and compelling teaching on encountering God in prayer is all too rare in the Church,” Bishop Logue said. “I find the stories used to illustrate the points in this book open up so much wisdom. The brief chapters are worthy of reflection. Beginning to Prayhad a positive impact on my own prayer life and I am looking forward to the Diocese of Georgia studying it together.”

This simple and powerful book, gets at the vital importance of encountering God in prayer.

The 1970 book is readily available both in a new edition and in used copies. You can find the reading guide for the Diocese of Georgia here. The guide offers questions for groups to use for the weeks following the Sundays in Lent with an optional meeting in Holy Week.
