PREFACE PREFACE Come and embark on this beautiful adventure of love and respect!

Pray always, because that's how we talk to God. And in your prayer do not make use of the same words again and again, as the Gentiles do: for they have the idea that God will give attention to them because of the number of their words. So be not like them; because your Father has knowledge of your needs even before you make your requests to him. Matthew 6:7-8
