Teaching Manual for PrayerWays

"How do I pray? Is there a right way to pray?"

PrayerWays, a practical aid for students who wish to develop their prayer and spiritual life, emphasizes experiencing prayer as well as learning about it.

Written in a simple, accessible style, this one-semester course for eleventh- and twelfth-graders offers background and an explanation of different prayer forms, with reflections and activities for students to try alone or in groups. Topics include "What is prayer?," "Giving God a joyful heart," and "Dwelling on the mystery of God." The full-color text includes photos and original artwork to help students connect to the holy mystery of prayer.

The teaching manual by Maryann Hakowski fully supports the student text and includes prayers, prayer services, review questions and answers, student activities, discussion questions, role-play situations, suggestions for interviews and guest speakers, student handouts, and much more.
