Used this as part of my daily devotional. There are 80 short chapters on prayer, most just 3 or 4 pages. It is just perfect to help inspire you to more prayer.

I spent months slowly working through it. I know about six or eight of the authors. But there is pretty wide range of quality and insight in the book. It is an attempt at creating a real textbook on prayer. I think it was a valiant attempt. The weakness is both the wide range of writing (creating a lack of cohesion)and the lack of depth into any of the particular areas.

Unfortunately my dogs ate the book a few chapters before I finished.

really loved how each chapter was simple, yet stratigic...produced even more ways to seek out the lifestyle of prayer and devotion...really good resource for prayer rooms, training, etc...

A good resource for introductory information on a wide variety of aspects of prayer.
