  Useful as a resource for both individual and corporate Christian life, Prayer Life will help Christians develop healthy and wholesome spiritual lifestyles. Above all, it will 'encourage prayer without guilt', as we are challenged to persist and persevere in our lives as children of God. Pablo Martinez combines his skill as a psychiatrist and pastor to show how the course and content of prayer is affected by individual temperament and personality. Prayer Life is based on the classification of four main psychological types, as we are encouraged to identify and accept ourselves within the rich diversity of God's family. Our temperament is a genetic endowment that remains part of us, despite the empowering of the Holy Spirit that changes and conforms us into the likeness of Christ. Trained as a medical doctor and psychiatrist, Pablo Martinez works at a Christian hospital in Barcelona. He has also developed a wide ministry as a lecturer and counsellor. He is a member of the Executive Committee of the International Christian Medical Association (ICMA), and has been a speaker at Spring Harvest.
