I read this little book way back when. It is a collection of essays on the topic of prayer from church leaders. As you can see from the book cover, there are some pretty big names who contributed to this book. It's pretty good and there is certainly some good insight contained in these pages.
I will share two quotes:
The first is from N. Eldon Tanner: "My father really knew how to talk to the Lord and made him seem so real and near to us. He would pray in the morning, 'Let thy blessings attend us as we go about our duties, that we may do what is right and return tonight to report to thee.' I think of that very often, and what a help it is to me! If everyone kept that thought in mind during the day, in all of his activities, knowing that he was going to account to the Lord at night for what he had done that day, it would be a great deterrent to wrongdoing and a great help in accomplishing works of righteousness."
The second is from Neal A. Maxwell: "Prayers are not to be bulldozers that automatically clear the way of all roadblocks."
