A journalist by training, Prayer: Does It Make Any Difference? carries all the hallmarks of classic Yancey.

His quest to unravel the mysteries of prayer reads as the journal of a fellow traveller: questioning, challenging, lamenting the unexplainable and rejoicing in the discovery of awesome insights.

Philip Yancey's journey is beautifully illustrated with moving true stories drawn from around the world. Prayer: Does it Make any Difference? tackles the following questions:

What is prayer?
What difference does it make?
Why and how should we pray?
What about unanswered prayer?
How should we understand prayer for physical healing?

Focusing on such a universal theme, this is potentially Yancey's biggest book yet.
