The Bible is not a book on prayer. It is a book of some prayers, a book that can be prayed (especially the Psalms), a book of truths that can be prayed about, but not a book on prayer. Protestants have always known this and have acted accordingly: https://www.amazon.com/M-Bounds-Prayer-M/dp/0883684160

I think Msgr. Pope assumes the reader already has a Bible. Every Christian home should have one.

>> “Why not start with the Bible?” <<

Because the Bible tells most people that read it things they would rather not know.
