One of Matthew Fox's earliest works, Prayer introduces a mystical spirituality and a mature conception of how to pray.

Here is a new edition of one of Matthew Fox's most powerful early books, another in a series of the classic works by the maverick priest and theologian being reissued by Tarcher/Putnam.

Prayer was written by Fox when he was a radical young priest fresh from the experience of the sixties and Vatican II. Originally published in 1972, it is one of the first works to herald the revolution of liberal theology that was just beginning to sweep the nation.

Originally published under the title On Becoming a Musical, Mystical Bear: Spirituality American Style , the book now has a more accessible title and appearance and is as vital today as when it first appeared.
