This book is well written, and short and to the point, balancing theology and philosophy well with practicality. I will say, as a practicing Catholic, this book didn't reveal to me anything I did not already know from previous books, learning, and experience. However, for someone unfamiliar with praying, this book is exactly what it claims to be. It gives you an introduction to prayer. It does not give you a point-by-point list to check off on how to pray, but instead teaches the mindset a Christian should have in their prayer life. My favorite quotes is near the end, "Prayer is not some interior technology, or self-manipulation, or spiritual button-pushing. It is simply standing in the light of objective reality. When we pray, instead of trying to produce love in our souls toward God, we should be basking in God's love for us."

to put it simply, this one goes straight to the point, without any insipid ramblings or self-congratulatory nonsense.

So good. So simple. Would recommend to anyone. The chapters are short with a lot of content filling every sentence. I’d read this again and it’d be fruitful in a different way every time.
“God really performs the miracle of multiplying our time — but only if we give it to him first.”
Amen.
