Library Book Review
Prayer is a vital part of the Christian walk. We have a section on Prayer in the library. “How to Pray-the Best of John Wesley on Prayer,” is a short book that shares tidbits of his many writings and shows his heart for prayer, inspiring us. In “Prayer – Does It Make Any Difference?” Philip Yancey explores the intimate place where God and humans meet, tackling the tough questions and giving a fresh new approach to prayer.
