by Philip Yancey(Author*)

Hardcover

Publisher:Zondervan

Product Description

In his most powerful book since What's So Amazing about Grace? and The Jesus I Never Knew, Yancey probes the most fundamental, challenging, perplexing, and deeply rewarding aspect---the very heartbeat---of your relationship with God: prayer. In theory, prayer is the essential human act, a priceless point of contact between you and the God of the universe. In practice however, prayer is often frustrating, confusing, and fraught with mystery.

Prayer: Does It Make Any Difference? explores the mysterious intersection where you and God meet and relate. Writing as a fellow pilgrim, Yancey explores the questions surrounding prayer that you may wonder about but not know how to express. Above all, Yancey shows you how to pray to a God who sees what lies ahead of you, knows what lies within you, and who invites you into an eternal partnership with Him---through prayer.      

*About the author.

As a child Philip Yancey attended a toxic church that preached racism, emphasized law instead of grace and was more passionate about condemnation than compassion. Due to this experience, Philip became an admittedly "angry, wounded person" who rejected the church and even discarded his faith for a season. Eventually, after Philip encountered "a world that was quite different than (he) had been taught about; a world of beauty and goodness" he began to journey back towards his faith.

In a very real sense, Philip's books provide an intimate account of this spiritual journey. In his earlier books, such as Disappointment with God and Where is God When it Hurts he attempts to answer some of the deep questions that threatened to derail his faith. Similarly, with The Jesus I Never Knew and What's So Amazing About Grace he provides an insightful, penetrating perspective on the heart of the Christian faith. These books enable readers explore their questions about the faith and ponder the heart of the faith in a creative way, so that they might find the strength to continue upon the journey.
