  <default_description>Philip Yancey probes the very heartbeat&amp;#8212;the most fundamental, challenging, perplexing, and deeply rewarding aspect&amp;#8212;of our relationship with God: prayer. What is prayer? Does it change God&amp;#8217;s mind or ours&amp;#8212;or both? This book is an invitation to communicate with God the Father who invites us into an eternal partnership through prayer.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I would appreciate this book evenmore if it wasn't limited to Christian prayer and included prayer from other cultures in more depth. Still, a good touchstone or sign post when one is struggling with one's own prayer practice]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Interesting book about prayer. Yancey touches upon some important issues like <em>why</em> we pray and <em>how</em> we pray. Do we use God as an automaton and expect him to answer our every prayer as if he were fulfilling requests? Or do we pray in order to get to know God better and align our own thoughts with his?...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/63286748">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[hard to write a review on this one because the topic itself is a dense one. i picked this one up because i really wondered, does prayer make a difference when the outcome is unsure? and i got a lot of good insight on the answer, but it was like climbing a mountain to get there. which is not a bad th...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/32495009">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Prayer-Does it Make Any Difference? by Yancy is a good book but not a typical Yancy work.  I have always loved Yancy's writing as he brings fresh thoughts and insights and then cohesively binds them into an intriguing storyline.  In this book, he does adequately perform but not at the pace of his pr...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/29460348">more...</a>]]></body>
