After reading this other book from the author, link here.  I decided to read this book too.  It also was a mix of complex spiritual ideas and humor.  We also learn that Scott Hahn, (who wrote the forward) is not a pillar of salt, there is more small talk about the weather then you would think in the Bible and that the hypostatic union is not what happens to your socks in the dryer.  (If you do not know what it is really see the "Catechism of the Catholic Church # 470-483.)  
It also deals with the major types of prayer: vocal, mental, and contemplation; personal, and liturgical.
