Too Subjective

Philip Yancey takes a look at topics and questions regarding prayer through his own and others' personal experiences. Bible verses are quoted here and there. While this subjective approach to understanding prayer may make the book an easy read, it is seriously flawed. The Bible has much to say...

Making a Difference In One's Heart

Reading Philip Yancey's work is like sitting down with a wise, sensitive friend who opens himself up with vulnerable transparency, as a fellow sojourner rather than a spiritual expert. As I read "Prayer", my clumsy attempts to commune with my Creator and the insecurities that hang over me as I...

Straight Forward, Rational Opinions on the Most Important Communications of our Lives

Another outstanding work by Philip Yancey. The last chapter alone, "Prayer and God" is worth the cost of the book and any person's time, whether they believe in the power of prayer or not. In it he writes, "I am learning the difference between saying prayers, which is an activity, and praying...
