Prayer CD

From AudioFile A minister and theologian in the Quaker tradition presents his musings and experiences regarding prayer. While he certainly has some evangelical tendencies, Fosters approach to the topic is quite within the Quaker tradition of emphasis on the personal, subjective inner light. He touches not only on prayer, but also on many other aspects of the worship of God. Terence Aselford gives a competent performance of this work, which is a combination of lecture, sermon, how-to suggestions, and stories of inspirational incidents. Aselford reads clearly and with appropriate expression as the discussion moves from topic to topic.
