How to Pray When You're Out of Words
Length: 11:21

Speaker: C. S. Lewis

Lewis shifts to discuss the use of a "private prayer language" and the role of prepared prayers versus spontaneous ones. He defends the value of using set forms of prayer, such as those found in the Book of Common Prayer, arguing that these can provide a framework that helps to express prayers when one's own words fail or when emotional turmoil might make spontaneous prayer difficult.

Clive Staples Lewis was a writer and lay theologian who became the most persuasive and influential Christian apologist of the 20th century.

He returned as a man to the Christian faith he had abandoned as a youth, and thereafter authored a variety of fictional novels, essays and Christian apologetics that became some of the most important defenses of the faith in modern times.

Many of the recordings presented in this collection were delivered by Lewis himself as parts of a radio series from Britain. Others are the musings of Lewis narrated by modern speakers.
