In this six-session ZondervanGroupware video curriculum, award-winning author 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.

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?

The Prayer DVD and Prayer participant's guide are available separately.
