For the first time, here is the story of Sister Wendy's life, along with her personal reflections on prayer.
Sister Wendy became a nun at the age of 16, went on to live for nearly 20 years as a hermit, and then was exposed to the world in a successful television career as the 'art nun'. She was the author of over 20 books with art as the main theme. In her later years she led a cloistered life, devoted to prayer. She died in December 2018.

'A down-to-earth book on prayer...attractively-printed, some 130
pages are devoted to the subject of prayer and is ideally suited to
being dipped into, perhaps daily.' Michael Morrissey, Northern
Cross

Interview with Sister Wendy in the Tablet. 'Sister Wendy on Prayer
is a fairly slim book...I, for one, found the new book helpful.
While the idea is simple it is by no means simplistic. Her point is
that people with little time for prayer can nevertheless be
prayerful, and for people who live busy lives, that is very
reassuring to hear.' Elena Curti, Tablet, 14/10/2006 -- Elena Curti
