Letters to Malcolm does not so much comprise an instruction manual on prayer as a brilliant course on prayer appreciation. Just as art or music enrichment classes take you deeper so that you can enjoy and unlock the genre’s riches, so does Letters to Malcolm take you deeper into the mysteries of prayer. As a great poem helps you feel things about life or love that you might have overlooked or barely paid attention to, so Letters to Malcolm will engage you in reflections on the dynamics of prayer to which you may never have paid attention.
