About Prayer

Is your prayer life sluggish or non-existent? Do you lack passion or purpose in your prayers? Have your prayers become merely “shopping lists”? Then you need Philip Yancey’s latest book, PRAYER: DOES IT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE? It will revolutionise your prayer life and re-energise your relationship with God.

Author of numerous bestselling books - including WHAT’S SO AMAZING ABOUT GRACE? - Philip Yancey admits to being “unqualified” in writing this book, his first on prayer. In his trademark style, he sets out to answer many of his own questions, and shares his personal struggles and insights into prayer with the reader.

Yancey wrestles with the big issues surrounding prayer: Why isn’t God answering my prayers? What role does prayer play in physical healing? Why does God give “inconsistent” answers to prayers? Why does prayer seem like hard work?

He draws on a vast and diverse range of sources in addressing these issues, including the Bible, Augustine, Martin Luther, C.S. Lewis and Henri Nouwen. Personal anecdotes and experiences with prayer are also interspersed throughout the book from interviews with Yancey’s friends and acquaintances.

In the same easy-to-read style as other Yancey titles, this book reveals some foundational, yet life-changing insights about prayer:

• Prayer re-aligns our worldview, and view of ourselves, with God’s viewpoint.
• Prayer is not merely a transaction - it is about a relationship, or keeping company with God
• Prayer changes our character and spiritual life
• Prayer can shape world events and the lives of others
• Prayer affects God
