Prayer—it's mysterious, challenging, frustrating . . . and life-changing. Discover why growing in prayer, which sometimes can be compared to a battle, is worth every ounce of effort you give it. Even if you've never prayed, or if you've never developed the habit of daily prayer, God is waiting to meet you where you are and encourage you every step of the way.

Using a simple approach to prayer, you'll learn how even ten minutes a day can change your life. Author Dan Burke explains how to set up your own sacred prayer space, discusses the common obstacles to prayer, and provides practical ways to overcome them. You'll also read stories of others who are seeking to orient themselves to God through prayer.

If you're ready for God to transform your heart and mind, you will know the life that Jesus has promised; a life of peace and joy that cannot be taken away by the trials of this world.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book on prayer!
Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2023

A favorite of spiritual directors, this deceptively simple book is a rich resource for prayer. Burke takes Lectio Divina, and calling it "Discovery Prayer," gives it 5 steps that make prayer practice easy to remember and understand. If you've always wanted to pray but didn't know where to begin, this is a great place to start!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome book on mental prayer!
Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2023
Verified Purchase
The book was easy to read and comprehend the basic elements of mental prayer. I like how the author also explained what mental prayer is not. The prayer method brings you into a closer relation with the Blessed Trinity and does not cause you to empty yourself or your mind like eastern methods of meditation or 'Mindfulness' practices. The title is so appropriate because the book teaches you to go deeper into your prayer life and relationship with God.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read it once, then read it again.
Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2020

This is one of those books that you can probably read in an hour, because it is so packed full of information, helpful tips, suggestions, & examples that you don't want to put it down until you've finished it. And then you'll want to read it again. Seriously, it's as close to perfect as a book can be regarding mental prayer. It covers everything from how to establish your environment, how to position your body, what accessories you need, how to use a written contract to commit to our Lord the hours of the day and the type of prayer you will be praying, and so many more useful pieces of information that will set you on your way toward successful mental prayer. Honestly, if you follow Dan Burke's information and guidance in this book, I don't see how you can fail to improve in your meditation and/or contemplation. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Five stars and then some!

4.0 out of 5 stars Dan Burke has not disappointed his audience with his new book
Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2016

Dan Burke has not disappointed his audience with his new book! He is a teacher/spiritual director that leads his readers into deeper, mature, transformational prayer.
His forward, written by Matthew Kelly, touches your heart with a warm loving invitation. I was hooked--who doesn't want to know how to receive and respond to the One who Who created us because of Love? Kelly is a master of words and knows how to draw people in through the written word. He has done it once again!
This is a short book, but Burke has managed to take thousands of years of teaching on prayer and condense them into a book that is easily understood, but is not "dumbed down" to be simplistic. In eight chapters he directs the reader through Lectio Divina, a powerful way of praying through Scripture. It is spiritual--but practical. Having studied Lectio as a Benedictine Oblate for several years, I can say I wish I would have had this book in hand from the beginning. It really can change your life.
While Burke is Catholic, this book is written in a way that anyone would learn and grow from his teachings. It would make a wonderful gift to someone seeking to grow in their relationship with Christ.
There is a chapter toward the end of the book, on which several people were interviewed about their experience with Lectio--which Burke identifies as Discoery Prayer. I enjoyed reading from people of different walks of life. But---I was keenly disappointed to see he did not include a senior citizen's point of view/experience.
Nor was there an interview from a widow/widower. This is a very special group of prayer warriors and potential spiritual dynamite lost to the world. They are a group that needs to be drawn together and encouraged to discover their vocation within the Church and the world. Burke missed a rich opportunity to reach out to this population.
Lastly, I would happily buy several volumes and give to friends---but it is over priced to be able to do that. $24.95 is a little pricey to buy for a prayer class or multiple friends. I am hoping this may change, in time.
All-in-all, I am glad I bought this book. I learned from it, and will be looking forward to Dan's next work!
P.S. I am a student at Avila Institute (which he founded with Anthony Liles). He only briefly mentions it in the book. It is an online school for Spiritual Formation and it has been the best money I have ever spent! I cannot say enough good about this Institute!
