Prayer: Audio Bible Studies: Six Sessions on Our Relationship with God

Written by Philip Yancey

Narrated by Philip D. Yancey

In this six-session study, 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?

Sessions include:

1. View From Above (17:00)
2. Why Pray? (17:00)
3. Keeping Company with God (15:30)
4. How to Pray (17:00)
5. Prayer Problems (16:30)
6. Does Prayer Change Anything? (15:30)
