I am pleased to announce that we have chosen a new book for our next study course. Prayer: Does it Make Any Difference by Phillip Yancey is the selection. The book explores many aspects of prayer life and how to make it more satisfying, meaningful, and central in our lives. Yancey also discusses questions that we all ponder pertaining to unanswered prayers, divine intervention, healing, prayer satisfaction, nearness of God in prayer, seemingly forced or ritualistic prayers. He asks,"If God knows everything, what's the point of prayer?"
We'll find out. The new book will start on August 12th. We will have books available at a discounted rate if you wish. Or you may go and purchase it and start reading.
Please invite someone that might be interested or wanted to join the class but didn't want to start in the middle of our last book.

Great selection for our next book. Yancey takes a very thought provoking approach in his books and I am sure this will be no different. A thought from an application standpoint.... what if we tried community prayer.... that is, offer up the various prayers, concerns, praises and have Brad open the prayer time and then as people feel led, pray directly for one of the prayer items... at the end Brad could close the prayer. Just a thought....
Great work.
