| Description: | There was a time, Genesis informs us, when God and Adam walked together in the garden and conversed as friends. Then, prayer was as natural as conversation with a colleague, or a lover. And yet today, many of us echo the comments of this young college woman: “I’m not always sincere when I pray. Sometimes it seems forced, more like a ritual. I’m just repeating words. Does God hear those prayers? Should I keep going even though I have no confidence that I’m doing it right?” Pastors and ordinary Christians alike consistently rank prayer high in importance—and also high in frustration. What is prayer? How does it work? And more importantly, does it work? In his most powerful book since What’s So Amazing About Grace? and The Jesus I Never Knew, Philip Yancey now takes a classic look at a classic subject. Prayer: Does It Make a Difference? is honest, thought-provoking, and motivating. It pushes beyond conventional treatments with the fresh, unique perspective that has become a Yancey trademark. Yancey has the same questions about prayer that plague most everyone at some point. Is God listening? Why should God care about me? If God knows everything, what’s the point of prayer? Why do answers to prayer seem so inconsistent, capricious? Why does God sometimes seem close and sometimes far? If God wants intimacy with us, why must we go through desert experiences where God remains silent and distant? Does prayer change God or change me? How can I make prayer more satisfying? |
