Excellent Book for Basic Prayer Class

We've been using Rev. Howell's book as a basis for an Adult Sunday School Class at our church, and it's been an excellent Basis for the many attributes of Prayer and Learning How to pray. The participants have noted that they might not always agree with some of Rev. Howell's observations, but find the chapters to be an excellent basis for discussion. Rev. Howell uses quotes from Theologians, and great thinkers/philosphers, and the particpants agree that these have helped a great deal in their prayer lives.
