Prayer

According to the Bible, there was a time 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.

Writing as a fellow pilgrim about that mysterious intersection where God and humanity meet and relate, Philip Yancey pushes beyond conventional treatments with the fresh, unique perspective that has become his trademark. Yancey explores questions such as: Is God listening? Why should God care about me? Why do so many prayers go unanswered? Why does God let the world go on as it does and not intervene? Does prayer really help with physical healing? Why does God seem sometimes close and sometimes far away? Does prayer change God or change me? How can I make prayer more satisfying?

Yancey backs his answers with crystal-clear insights into the importance God places on prayer and why we should value it. Prayer is an invitation to pray to a God who wants to interact with us, even to the extent of giving us influence over what happens.
