Letters to Malcolm
Introduction
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.
These six lectures by Marjorie Lamp Mead provide essential background information and the central themes on prayer that Lewis explores throughout all of the Letters. The enclosed study guide will take you step by step through each of the twenty-two letters. The questions highlight the underlying theme of each letter and challenge you to reflect and apply Lewis’s insights to your own experience
and practices of prayer.
