My understanding is that people of many faiths believe in the power of prayer.  In fact, I've known of atheists who pray.  So the first important note about this book is that it is written from a Christian perspective.For most Christians, prayer is the cornerstone of faith.  A Christian can profess his/her faith all they want, but without regularly communicating with God through prayer, it's hard for that person to argue that he is really practicing his faith.Yet, it becomes very easy for a well-intentioned Christian to not give prayer the level of attention that it should get within his faith.  Let's face it - we all get busy with earthly pursuits - work, family, other activities.  It can become very easy to let prayer fall by the wayside except, perhaps, during worship services.In this text, Arnold helps us assess where prayer is in our daily lives, where we want it to be, and how to get it there.  I suppose that one sentence encapsulates this excellent book - what more needs to be said?  Only this - if you're a Christian and you don't feel your connection with God is as strong as you would like it to be, read this book and you will gain both insight and an action plan.
