He delves into the places that we fear to go with our issues about prayer, encouraging us with gentle kindness and words of hope and inspiration. The book is divided into five sections.1. "Why Pray?" Illustrates the purposes and benefits of prayer for ourselves, as well as for the broader Catholic community and even the world.2. "Why Is It so Hard?" Notes how our contemporary culture conspires against taking time out for solitude and prayer, and how our own ego--with its fears, restlessness, and narcissism--can work against developing a deeper relationship with God through prayer.3. "What Is Prayer?" Outlines the two basic types of prayer, that is, affective (personal) and priestly (for the world). This section also notes the many ways or methods for each type of prayer, such as meditation, contemplation, the divine office, the Mass, and Scripture.4. "Sticking with It When It Gets Hard." This section covers the development of mature prayer, discussing ways to pray in times of boredom, disillusionment, crisis, helplessness, or after a loved ones death.5. "Mysticism."
