Book Description
How to Pray is a short collection of essays and excerpts drawn from across C. S. Lewis’s writings, focused on the nature and practice of prayer. Rather than offering a step-by-step manual, the book reflects Lewis’s thoughtful, questioning approach to prayer—addressing distraction, honesty before God, formal versus spontaneous prayer, and the tension between faith and doubt. Clear, humane, and gently probing, it presents prayer as a living relationship rather than a rigid technique.

 

About Author

C. S. Lewis (1898–1963) was a British writer, literary scholar, and Christian apologist, best known for The Chronicles of Narnia series. Born in Belfast, Ireland, Lewis was educated at Oxford University, where he later became a fellow and tutor in English literature at Magdalen College. His academic work focused on medieval and Renaissance literature, while his fiction and nonfiction explored theology, morality, imagination, and myth.

Lewis achieved worldwide fame with The Chronicles of Narnia (1950–1956), a series of children’s fantasy novels that combine adventure with philosophical and Christian themes. He also wrote influential theological works such as Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, and The Problem of Pain. Known for his clarity, wit, and imaginative power, Lewis remains one of the most widely read and discussed authors of the 20th century, with a lasting impact on literature, fantasy, and religious thought.
