This book is a great guide to how to prepare yourself and adjust your beliefs on Christ as the center of your life RATHER than a guide to prayer. The book covers one of the longest chapters in the Bible where Jesus prayed to the Father that He wishes that the ones He was sent for (his disciples, his followers, and the elect or chosen ones) would receive Him the way the Father receives the Son. I believe it's John 17. He breaks it down for the reader to understand that to pray you must be set apart for Holiness, that you must live in the world but not be of the world, and that you must understand that the Spirit is at work in you to transform you by the renewing of your mind. It is hardly a book on prayer itself but is still a good read. I personally have a Wiersbe study Bible and that is why I picked up this book, but if you want more details and depth on prayer check out EM Bounds. ( )
