Great stuff - I was pleasantly surprised

I purchased this book separately to help me get though a mandatory class on leading prayer. The instructor seemed a little stuck in 1940's to me; I needed something to work on privately and this book helped much. The author uses this book to help us see the world as a continuous opportunity for prayer. God bless my class instructor and fellow students; but this book expanded the rather dry offering to a wonderful experience for me. Highly recommended.
