HOW TO PRAY WHEN LIFE HURTS
By Roy Lawrence
Scripture Union. 143 pages
ISBN 1 85999 674 4

Roy Lawrence's book is not simply an essay in 'how to pray', however, but how to pray in difficult circumstances. Indeed, some of the chapters cover important pastoral issues: how to pray when you feel guilty/anxious/depressed/are grieving, etc.
