Talking About Prayer

Talking About Prayer is a collection of 20 short films that are ideal as talk starters for churches and small groups.

Each short film contains the wisdom and insight of leading Christian speakers and writers. However, they are designed to help the viewer to think (and talk!) about the issue for themselves.

Each of the 20 videos are available below for free download, but they are also available as a complete DVD package which is accompanied by a Leader's Guide, making it ideal for use in a small-group or as a gift for someone in Christian ministry.

Journey into Prayer devotional guide

Although these videos are free to download, they do cost money to produce, so please consider making a donation to the Damaris Trust.

Get even more out of the videos by downloading the accompanying Devotional Guide, Journey into Prayer, which helps you go even deeper into the issues raised in the videos.


Talking About Prayer is split into four sections:

  1. Why should we pray?
  2. What happens when we pray?
  3. Jesus taught us how to pray
  4. How do I . . . ?

 

N.B. Talking About Prayer includes a voucher for 50% off an individual subscription to Tools for Talks.
