In this book, Dr. Murphy brings you proven techniques of praying that have been helped people all over the world. You’ll learn from real-life examples how prayer has been instrumental in rebuilding broken marriages, overcoming adversity, coping with grief and sorrow, and solving both minor and major problems. No matter what faith or religion you follow, this work will help you channel your prayers so that they open your subconscious mind to the Infinite Wisdom that guides our lives.

Joseph Murphy was a Divine Science minister and author.
Murphy was born in Ireland, the son of a private boy's school headmaster and raised a Roman Catholic. He studied for the priesthood and joined the Jesuits. In his twenties, an experience with healing prayer led him to leave the Jesuits and move to the United States, where he became a pharmacist in New York (having a degree in chemistry by that time). Here he attended the Church of the Healing Christ (part of the Church of Divine Science), where Emmet Fox had become minister in 1931.
In the mid 1940s, he moved to Los Angeles, where he met Religious Science founder Ernest Holmes, and was ordained into Religious Science by Holmes in 1946, thereafter teaching at the Institute of Religious Science. A meeting with Divine Science Association president Erwin Gregg led to him being reordained into Divine Science, and he became the minister of the Los Angeles Divine Science Church in 1949, which he built into one of the largest New Thought congregations in the country. In the next decade, Murphy married, earned a PhD in psychology from the University of Southern California and started writing. After his first wife died in 1976, he remarried to a fellow Divine Science minister who was his longstanding secretary. He died in 1981.

The author is able to connect with the reader, and convey the power of prayer.
The author is able to connect with the reader, and convey the power of prayer. The techniques prescribed appear to be usable, although I have not experimented.

Writing down your prayers with the intention of connecting the mind, body, and spirit is a way to gather the infinite wisdom that leads to wholesome living.

I stopped reading the book. Too many repetition about how prayers where answered and they were not detailed well. Although I learned some techniques but towards the end I was frustrated with it.
