While this book is short and easy to read, digesting it will take months. Kreeft provides discusses prayer in a no-nonsense, approachable way, but with insights I’ve never read before. This has to be one of my top 10 favorite books on faith.

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."

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.
