I received this book as a random gift from a friend 3-4 years ago. I thought it was very thoughtful to send me the book, but I had no interest in reading about prayer. Like many people, I avoided prayer whenever possible: I said a form prayer to bless the food, I avoided eye contact and stared silently at the floor when someone asked people to open/close in prayer, I told others I'd pray for them and thought about their needs but never verbalized a request to God.

This book changed that.

Not astoundingly and all at once, but slowly and profoundly. It was less being jolted awake, and more letting the natural sunlight wake you up. This book was powerfully convicting, but without any guilt or shame. In many ways the author has mastered the art of guiding people away from "regret bad choices and wish you were better" to "do better from here on out."

This book is very short--only about 47 pages, and the pages are smaller than a normal book. Each chapter has loads to unpack in a very concise and easy to understand manner. I think I'm going to go back and re-read it dedicating a day for each chapter.

Very much recommend for everyone. Those who love prayer and those who don't.
