By Philip Yancey
In theory, prayer is the priceless point of contact between us and God. In practice, it’s often frustrating, confusing, and mysterious. Throughout this 6-session interactive journey, Philip Yancey explores this enigmatic intersection where we meet God, asking—-and answering—-key questions: Is he listening? What’s the point? Can prayer be more satisfying?

About the Author
I worked for 10 years as an Editor and then Publisher for Campus Life magazine. There I learned journalistic skills (there’s no tougher audience than teenagers), but every year it seemed I wrote fewer and fewer words. In 1980 my wife Janet and I moved to downtown Chicago where I began a career as a freelance writer. (She has worked as a social worker and hospice chaplain—which gives me plenty of material to write about!) We lived there until 1992, when we moved to the foothills of Colorado. I’ve written around 20 books, most of them still in print, thankfully. Three of them I coauthored with Dr. Paul Brand, who influenced me more than any single person. My own favorites are “Soul Survivor” and “Reaching for the Invisible God” because both of them forced me to dig deep and get personal. I’m a pilgrim, still “in recovery” from a bad church upbringing, searching for a faith that makes its followers larger and not smaller. I feel overwhelming gratitude that I can make a living writing about the questions that interest me.
