Each of us should be willing and ready to call upon our Father in heaven every day. In this volume, men who have been chosen by our Father in heaven to serve him in this world give counsel to help those who are seeking to know more about prayer. They share with us a message of great importance, the message that this experience called prayer is the most important and vital of all communication.

This edited volume contains seventeen short articles and three poems about prayer. They are written from the perspective of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and are most accessible to readers familiar with that tradition. Many have previously appeared in reports of the Church's annual conference or in the Ensign magazine.

N. Eldon Tanner introduces the collection with two thoughts. First, that we will live our lives with greater care if we remember that we will be accountable to our Father in heaven. The second is that "Our Father in heaven knows our needs better than we. He knows what is for our good and the things we need to overcome in order to further our development and progression. We must learn to accept his will in all things, with the faith and assurance that in the end everything he does for us will redound to our good."

These are well-written articles that contain some genuine insights into the nature of prayer. They are worthy of thoughtful consideration.
