20 Answers: Prayer
What are the different kinds of prayer?
I prayed for something and God didn’t grant it. Why?
Doesn’t the Bible condemn repetitious prayers like the rosary?
Why do I have to say traditional prayers in a church instead of just talking to God in my own way?
Prayer is the Christian’s source of strength and peace, a channel of grace, a medium of joy and consolation. By it we open our minds to the One who made us and loves us, to give him praise and thanks and to tell him our needs. And we also open our hearts to him, asking him for wisdom and direction in our life. But prayer doesn’t always come easily, especially when we have questions about how or why we should do it. 20 Answers: Prayer addresses some of the most common questions, giving you profitable understanding of what prayer is, strategies for praying more often in a busy day, and ways to advance in prayer toward its goal: deeper, more loving communion with God.
The 20 Answers Series from Catholic Answers offers hard facts, powerful arguments, and clear explanations of the most important topics facing the Church and the world—all in a compact, easy-to-read package. Check out dozens of other topics in the 20 Answers Series of booklets published by Catholic Answers Press.

I think my one critique is this focused quite a bit on things like vocal prayer, and didn't focus as much on really entering meditative or contemplative prayer. Like, a review of the catechism might have done wonders to help guide the discussion, since the emphasis seemed a little tilted. But, not bad if you want some reminders and new little pieces of knowledge.

Some good info, definitely a beginner’s guide though. Love these books.

Certain prayers are mentioned but are not written out completely. It would be nice to have an appendix with all of the mentioned prayers.
