How Do I Pray Today?
Volume 1: The Experience of Prayer
Alexander Ezechukwu OCD & Joanna Mosley
ISBN 978-0947916206
£13.95
Few people have any idea of the quality of their own prayer. Adding to the confusion is the fact that there is usually nothing to measure it against. How Do I Pray Today? was designed for that very purpose: to allow a privileged insight into how others pray and ways of relating to God – every approach to God being as unique as the person praying. Volume 1, The Experience of Prayer, contains eleven personal testimonies from people in all walks of life – married or single, priests, lay or religious – which encourage us to ‘pray always and never lose heart’ (Luke 18:1). Combined with Questions for Reflection or Discussion, it is a perfect book for use by groups, or by individuals at home or on a private retreat.
TERESIAN PRESS books and booklets (including the ‘Living Flame’ imprint) are Carmelite literature, the aim of which is to popularise and promote Carmelite spirituality and the life of prayer at very affordable prices. One of our notable bestsellers is the profound but very accessible introduction to Carmelite prayer, Upon This Mountain by Sr Mary McCormack, OCD, which is available in several languages, both European and in Chinese and Japanese. Our other authors include Fr Iain Matthew, OCD, already well known for The Impact of God on St John of the Cross, Fr Conrad De Meester, OCD, the foremost authority on St Elizabeth and Brother Lawrence, Fr Tomás Alvarez, the world expert on St Teresa of Avila, and Fr James McCaffrey.

CARMELITE BOOK SERVICE was set up as a world-wide mail order service in 1984, (on-line since 1997), to provide all books in print on Carmelite Spirituality to the whole family of Carmel. The aim was to stock all titles so as to be able to supply them without delay. This proved to be a great service to customers, and so the book service has grown and now has over one thousand six hundred titles in stock. These are not only books on Carmelite Spirituality but also the Christian classics, books on the English Spiritual tradition, Celtic Spirituality, Eastern Spirituality and Contemporary Spirituality.
The Book Service also supplies a wide range of pamphlets, booklets, audio cassettes, videos, CD’s, DVD’s and religious objects and is located within the Carmelite Priory grounds at Oxford, where there is also a Prayer & Retreat Centre. It is owned, maintained and managed by the Order and is a registered charity. We are an independent bookshop and we have no branches or links with any other bookshops. Our Bookshop is normally open to visitors Monday – Friday 10.00am – 4.00pm.
