This book is a practical guide to different forms of prayer: Petition, Intercession, Thanksgiving, Praise and Adoration. Each form contains two sections. The first explains the nature, meaning and importance of the particular form of prayer. The second presents practical exercises for that prayer.

For example, the section on Petition starts with some reflections, mentions different kinds of human needs, and explains how can we fruitfully petition God for something. The author gives instances of petition made to Jesus that were granted and those that were not granted, and draws some lessons about petionary prayer. Individuals will find in it a great deal of practical information about each form of prayer, while it can serve as a practical prayer-guide to moderators and animators of group prayer sessions.
