Prayer: Does It Make Any Difference? Audiobook

" Still in the middle of this book, as I've read and re-read each chapter before moving on. I really love the way Yancey describes the relationship of God and man throughout the book. Very good read, and has thus far been beneficial to my own prayer life. "

" Excellent - this covers just about every possible aspect of praying. A little heavy in places - I could only read a few pages at a time, so it took me some weeks to get through it. But very thorough, with some good anecdotes interspersed. Definitely recommended to anyone wanting to know more about praying. "

" Loved his other stuff, couldn't get into this one. "

" Honest exploration of the practice of prayer. "

" 3 to 3.5 stars, it was good but it took a long time to finish, I liked some of the rabbit trails, but just not as much as other books of his! I would recommend this to anyone struggling with prayer, for sure "

" I absolutely loved this book. This is Yancey at his best! He takes prayer to a whole new level. I think this book will be relevant for years to come. "

" We are reading this for my small group. "

" Read for Phoenix class. Well done. "

" its a good book, covers a lot of the questions. yancey as always is a seeker with you, he promises no answers and just wants to understand life and God. i struggled through it, but when i did read it i did feel like i got a lot out of it. "

" This book is being used in my bible study. This is a journey that I want to learn more about. Very powerful tool to have. "

" Sometimes depressing - left me with a feeling hopelessness about prayer midway through the book before pulling it out of the tailspin. Provocative, deep, sometimes depressing and sometimes hopeful, a compelling writing style never left me bored. "

" I have to admit I didn't even finish the book. I usually like Yancey, but it seemed like his train of thought was all over the place in this book. I couldn't follow it well and it wasn't hitting the spot. I know others have loved this book, but it just wasn't my style. "

" As a polite, protestant, evangelical pray-er, this has been wonderfully broadening in how I can think about prayer differently, and relate to God differently. It's been challenging in how I see God as well. Good stuff. "

" Overall, I didn't like this as much as previous Yancey books. It was thought provoking but slow in a lot of ways. The epilogue was very meaningful to me - can relate to his experience.... "

" best book I have read about prayer. Not boring at all. "

" This book is challenging and transforming my thinking about prayer! I highly recommend this book. "
