Just a reminder that this month's book club selection is Prayer by Philip Yancey. In his typically honest voice as a fellow pilgrim, Yancey subtitles the book with the provocative question, "Does it make any difference?" Here's a short summary:

Philip Yancey probes the very heartbeat—the most fundamental, challenging, perplexing, and deeply rewarding aspect—of our relationship with God: prayer. What is prayer? Does it change God’s mind or ours—or both? This book is an invitation to communicate with God the Father who invites us into an eternal partnership through prayer.

The discussion, led by Shasta Nelson and myself will start on May 1st. We're looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this book.

You can buy Prayer from our Amazon affiliate account and support Spectrum with your purchase.

Looking forward to this. I enjoy Yancey's books--all of them. I read this one last year and it changed my prayer life. I also gave it to many of my friends for Christmas--bulk ordering on Amazon! He is an amazing writer.
