{"product_id":"9781594711374","title":"When the Well Runs Dry: Prayers Beyond the Beginnings","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"There comes a time,\" Jesuit spiritual director and author Thomas Green says, \"when people deeply committed to prayer 'hit a wall.'\" Stunned and discouraged, they find God distant and detached. This book offers encouraging and practical direction on the spiritual life from several of Christianity's classic teachers on prayer. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFr. Green analyzes the nature of prayer, what blocks it, what supports it, and what will renew it, by presenting counsel from classic spiritual Christian teachers – such as Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross – and his own long and fruitful ministry as teacher and spiritual director. Comparing the watering of a garden to the renewal of a dry spiritual life, Green escorts those experiencing difficulty with prayer back to the knowing and inspired counsel of these classic Christian writers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ave Maria Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47047490928880,"sku":"9781594711374","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781594711374_p0.jpg?v=1763809197","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781594711374","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
