I went to hear Philip Yancey last week at the Guild Hall in Preston, hosted by the Saltmine Trust. We’ve all read What’s So Amazing about Grace and The Jesus I never knew, but now his latest book deals with the subject we all struggle with – Prayer. I’ve just started reading the book which is an honest pilgrim’s look at prayer taking on questions like “Does it make any difference?”, “Does prayer change God or change me?”.
The evening with Saltmine was excellent, with drama including some of their adaptation of the Screwtape Letters . Yancey was interviewed chat show style with questions from the audience and in the second half he spoke on prayer. It is his honesty and humility that makes his books worth reading.
