"Prayer: Does It Make a Difference?"
Based on the book with the same title by awarding-winning author
Philip Yancey
Prayer is a priceless point of contact between us and the God of the universe. But it is often frustrating, confusing, and fraught with mystery. Philip Yancey will guide us in exploring such questions as:
Is God listening?
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 so close and sometimes far away?
How can I make prayer more satisfying?
