GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., July 5, 2006 – In his most powerful book since What’s So Amazing About Grace? and The Jesus I Never Knew, Philip Yancey probes the very heartbeat – the most fundamental, challenging, perplexing and deeply rewarding aspect – of our relationship with God: prayer. What is prayer? How does it work? And more importantly, does it work?
In theory, prayer is the essential human act, a priceless point of contact between us and the God of the universe. In practice, prayer is often frustrating, confusing and fraught with mystery. Prayer: Does It Make Any Difference? is an exploration of the mysterious intersection where God and humans meet and relate. Wrestling with the topic, Yancey explores such questions as:
• 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 and capricious?
• Why does God seem sometimes close and sometimes far away?
• How can I make prayer more satisfying?
Prayer: Does It Make Any Difference? offers readers compelling insights about the topic of prayer, comparable to the helpful, life-changing messages of his bestsellers. Yancey will embark on a 15-city tour.
