Peter Kreeft brings his unique insights to this most important area of our spiritual lives. He claims he himself is still a beginner in prayer, and this book is for all those, like him, who feel that they are not good at praying but desire to become much better at it. Thus, Kreeft offers simple, but profound advice and practical steps for developing a prayer life based on the time-tested wisdom of the saints and great spiritual writers, especially the principles found in Brother Lawrence's classic, The Practice of the Presence of God.

In short, straight-forward, and unsentimental chapters, Kreeft covers all the key areas for understanding and developing that intimate form of communication with our creator that we call prayer. He covers such areas as the necessity of prayer, various motives and methods, steps, patience, suffering, sin, faith, and grace.

I enjoyed it very much. The consistency of being remindered to take our eyes off of ourself and looking to Jesus was thought provoking and heartfelt to actually call upon the Lord In every situation and walk with humility with everyone. To God be the Glory. Thank you for the book. May many be blessed. Dios te Bendiga.

I Love this book! I am not a beginner, but this book is filled with fantastic insight. It is so enlightening and helpful for deepening my own Prayer life as well as guiding others to greater union with our Blessed Lord. I highly recommend this book for everyone. I know I will refer back to it many times, and I'm sure I'll read it again. Soon.

Totally Awesome!

Surprisingly very little info on actual prayer, more on Catholic Christian doctrines and dogma. Ironically Peter Kreeft gives the example of the theologian who would rather hear a lecture about heaven than go to heaven. This is a book that has a lot about prayer but almost nothing about how to actually do it.
