Book SynopsisLORD, TEACH US TO PRAY! LUKE 11:1Jesus never taught His disciples how to preach, only how to pray. He did not speak much of what was needed to preach well but spoke much of praying well. To know how to speak to God is more important than knowing how to speak to man. Not power with men, but power with God is the first thing. Jesus loves to teach us how to pray.What do you think, my beloved fellow disciples? Would it not be just what we needed, to ask the Master to give us a month-long course of special lessons on the art of prayer? As we meditate on the words He spoke on earth, let us yield to his teaching, in the fullest confidence that, with such a teacher, we shall make progress. Let us take time not only to meditate but to pray. To busy ourselves at the foot of the throne, and be trained in the work of intercession. -Andrew MurrayWith Christ in the School of Prayer offers a structured series of 31 short, concise, practical, and powerful lessons on prayer to fill the listener''s heart with a hunger for God''s presence. While holding firmly to Andrew Murray''s classic teaching and theology and retaining the elegance of his writing style, this edition has been updated to make Murray''s writing more accessible to modern readers.It includes the following updates: A Study Guide to Ensure a Deeper Study of Andrew Murray''s Original Message. Unabridged and Carefully Updated Text in Modern English. Updated Organization and Headings. An Active Table of Contents. Large Print Text.

Central European University Press Writing on Water
Book SynopsisWriting on Water grasps the phenomenon of sound in prayer, that is, a meaning in sounds and soundscapes, and a musical essence in the act of praying. The impetus for the book arose from the author’s fieldwork among traditional Jews during the era of communism in Budapest and Prague. In that period the Jewish religion and Jewishness in general were supressed and rituals became semi-secret and turned inward. The book is a witness to these communities and their rituals, but it goes beyond documentation. The uniqueness of the sounds of the rituals compelled the author to try to comprehend how melodies and soundscapes became the sustaining/protective environment, as well as the vehicle, for the expression of a world-orientation—in a situation where open discourse was inconceivable. The book is based on extensive interviews, musical recordings, photographs and scholarly analyses. It is unique in its choice of communities, its wealth of original documents, and its novel interpretation of sound. Writing on Water is creative non-fiction. The presentation is evocative and poetic, but at the same time it transmits knowledge. The book can aid research and serve in courses in philosophy, religion, music, ethnomusicology, anthropology, aesthetics, Jewish studies, folklore, oral history, and performance studies. It is also a work of art and literature.Trade Review"Frigyesi’s work at recovering song and prayer has a wistful character, and conveys irreparable loss in the wake of the war and the Communist era in Hungary. She describes her visits to near-abandoned synagogues, where she sneaks a look at upper balconies and hidden study rooms that are no longer used. Yet her portrait of changing Jewish life in central Europe is so richly conveyed that it feels like a gift, a discovery of things unappreciated and unseen." * Canadian Jewish News *"Writing on Water is a book about experience, about using the physical phenomenon of musical sound and the act of chanting to form an emotional and spiritual connection with something larger than oneself. It is as much about the setting, the history, the memories both detailed and unspoken, the fragmented echo of a murdered and suppressed way of life, as it is about musical aspects of Hungarian Jewish prayer chant. It is a book that blends poetry and evocative black-and-white photographs with accounts of ethnographic encounters, and it should be treated like the multi-faceted sensory experience that it describes. The rewards that Writing on Water has to offer may come more easily to the reader who allows him- or herself to sit back, relax, and sink into the book’s narrative." -- Rachel Adelstein * Studia Musicologica *"This is a very special book. It is a poetic, autoethnographic, and ethnographic memoir of research done first in the late 1970s and then in the 1990s among elderly and religiously observant Jews in Budapest (and a little bit in Prague). The research focused on the traditional liturgical music of these congregations, and then later, on the life histories of these elderly Jews. Although the research was conducted in the field of musicology, this is not a musicological study in the traditional sense by any means. Indeed, much of the eloquent reflection here is on precisely why the author found it impossible to do a comprehensive, "objective" musicological study of the old-fashioned sort. In doing so, she offers a very lucid (and to me, utterly convincing and recognizable) meditation on the fragmentation of memory and on the forms of spiritual identity or of being-in-the-world that are represented by the musical forms that were the ostensible topic of her research. Cumulatively, the book gives a very rich sense of the humility, tenuousness, and profundity of these peoples' lives. It is also an extremely valuable account of the flavor of life in Budapest during the last years of Communism." https://muse.jhu.edu/article/867804/summary -- Jonathan Boyarin * Shofar *"Writing on Water tells the story of the formational moments of the author's academic career in Jewish music when she started field research in clandestine Orthodox prayer houses in Communist Budapest, interviewing and recording prayer leaders, almost all of whom were Holocaust survivors. This book is one of a kind in two ways: it is the only ethnography of Jewish prayer in Communist Budapest, opening a small window into the sounds of an oppressed minority community that was hidden from public view and that no longer exists in this form. But it is also remarkable in its evocative, reflexive writing style and the use of poetry and image to convey a sonic atmosphere." https://journals.qucosa.de/mm/article/download/18/39 -- Isabel Frey * Music & Minorities *
