Prayer is often perceived as a difficult, 'place-less' exercise in which we close our eyes and seek God beyond our everyday experience in an invisible, ethereal realm. Despite Christian history being replete with vibrant imagery, today much of it has fallen into obscurity.

In this beautifully illustrated, contemporary book, Margaret Silf explores seven landscapes of prayer, both classic and modern: the garden, the desert, the cave, the urban jungle, the mountaintop, the seashore and the forest. All are fruitful areas for self-discovery, inviting us to connect with the mystery of God in our lives.
