This gem should be a must read for any one experiencing stress, change, or desiring growth both spiritual and personal.  The only place this book falters, is by not giving inspirational stories of how prayer will transform your attitude, your life, and your way of being (but that was outside his purpose in this quick guide).My family is fundamentalist Christian, which I have chafed against for years.  So any time I read something which has the words 'God' in it, some internal resistance arises.  This author is stellar at keeping his religion out of the book and inviting you to learn ways and methods to pray.  After years of personal and spiritual growth, I find that prayer is one of my most treasured ways to gain solace, thank Source for all that has been given, and invite more WellBeing and flow into my life.One of this author's greatest gifts is to suggest that there are many 'wasted' moments in our lives when we could shift our focus to prayers of thanksgiving and prayers for others like when we are mowing the lawn, stuck in traffic, doing the dishes, making the kids lunch.  I think the author understates how powerful it is to walk in gratitude and appreciation.  These are life transforming.I have long taught a spiritual psychological approach called Psychosynthesis where we teach a unique approach to meditation which is quite like prayer.  Reflect,Receive, and Act are the 3 phases.  You must take what you have learned in prayer, contemplation and meditation out into action in the world, or the energy gets all coagulated and stops flowing.  This author has two questions that are powerful to identify what is received in the receptive phase, and how to take action in your life with what you have received.  This is brilliant.  Plus it continues that wondrous connection with the Divine.  This is an important book to read. I urge you to buy this book and transform your life.
