Product Description

Multi-award winning spirituality writer Philip Yancey is loved throughout the world for his honest, insightful and inspirational writing. PRAYER: DOES IT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE? carries all the hallmarks of classic Yancey, a journalist by training. His quest to unravel the mysteries of prayer reads as the journal of a fellow traveller: questioning, challenging, lamenting the unexplainable and rejoicing in the discovery of awesome insights.

His journey is beautifully illustrated with moving true stories drawn from around the world.

PRAYER: DOES IT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE? tackles the following questions: What is prayer? What difference does it make? Why and how should we pray? What about unanswered prayer? How should we understand prayer for physical healing?

Focusing on such a universal theme, this is potentially Yancey`s biggest book yet. To date, his books have sold over 14 million copies, and have been translated into 25 languages. His first book with Hodder, SOUL SURVIVOR, has sold over 85,000 copies in just four years.

A real Companion to Prayer

One of the best 'Christian' books I have ever read. It really covers the subject well in an accessible and thorough way. In particular it encourages the use of the 131 prayers that are ready made in the Bible apart from those in the Psalms.

It asks the questions that sometimes we shy away from when we approach this subject.

Very readable and a book that one can turn back to regularly.

He has a distinctive easy to read style so typical of many of his other books.

Prayer

Originally published in 2006.
Yancey is one of today’s best known Christian authors, but this is the first time he has written specifically on prayer. The book isn’t yet another on how to pray, it’s more why to pray. It ranges widely, some of the topics being what to pray for, prayer’s impact on us, prayer’s impact on God, and how our view of God changes during life. One anecdote of answered prayer quoted is of when Yancey was in Budapest to deliver a presentation and discovered he had lost the cable for his lap-top. He stood in the middle of a busy street praying, and was approached by a student who spoke English and was able to take him to a computer shop where they had that very cable in stock. Some might say ‘coincidence’, but as Archbishop Temple said “When I pray coincidences happen. When I don’t, they don’t”. Others might say ‘Why should he get his cable, when I prayed for my daughter to be cured of leukaemia, and she died?’
