Introduction to book by Philip Yancey: "Prayer can be frustrating, confusing, and fraught with mystery. I probe such questions as: Is God listening? Why should God care about me? If God knows everything, what’s the point of prayer? How can I make prayer more satisfying? Why do so many prayers go unanswered? Do prayers for healing really matter? Does prayer change God? I began with a list of such questions, then I studied all 650 prayers in the Bible and interviewed scores of people about their own experiences with prayer. The process of writing caused a revolution in my own conception and practice of prayer. I now see it not so much as a way of getting God to do my will as a way of being available to get in the stream of what God wants to accomplish on earth."

Praying the 23rd Psalm is filled with prayers that will flow from your heart as you immerse yourself in one of the most beautiful passages from God's Word. Elmer Towns examines Psalm 23 line by line, revealing insight, comfort, and dynamic Kingdom principles for every follower of Christ. Towns has seen more than three million copies of his books sold during the past 42 years. He has written a number of popular Bible studies and many outstanding books on the subjects of Sunday School and evangelism. But Towns's recent focus has been on spirituality. He says, "I began my ministry helping the Church to develop better outreach programs, but the condition of America has changed. Now the Church needs better people. We must get back to the basics of our spiritual relationship with God."
