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. This book is an exploration of the mysterious intersection where God and humans meet and relate. Writing as a fellow pilgrim, 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?</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Philip Yancey</note> <subject> <topic>Christianity -- Prayer</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Study aids -- General</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">248.32</classification> <classification authority="ddc">Y21-P55</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9780310271055</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/15141/2.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/15141/2.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2024-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071438.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
