Catholic Weekly, a Catholic newspaper published in Australia, reviewed Hungry for God: Practical Help in Personal Prayer:

"[Martin's] advice is aimed at the beginner wanting to pray and reveal their own intimate relationship with God.

It covers finding a regular time and place for prayer and spiritual reading, the types of distractions in prayer, and how to pray. His advice on overcoming anxiety, guilt, preoccupation, fatigue and ‘wrong’ relationships, all of which can interfere with our prayer life, reminds us that praying well is so closely tied (indeed crucial) to living well more generally.

He also writes of the centrality of the Mass, the need to belong to a Christian community, and of finding a sympathetic spiritual director."
