George writes a practical book for young women on the theme of prayer. She encourages her readers to experience the joy and centrality of prayer in the Christian life. In many ways this book is simply a description of a relationship with God lived in utter dependence upon him. Included are sections on hindrances to prayer, when to pray, discovering God's will through prayer, how to pray, and developing the habit of prayer. She offers practical wisdom from Scripture and thoughtful application that will help deepen her reader's relationship with the God who hears and is mindful of his children.
