Prayer Changes Things

by Charles L. Allen

To many "praying" people today, prayer is limited to a definite activity – an experience not really related to life. It is a time to draw aside, use stiff, formal language, go through a prescribed ritual of prayer, and then return to the regular daily routine. In this radiantly written treatise on prayer, Dr. Charles Allen believes prayer involves all of life – in fact, "prayer IS all of life. Every thought, every feeling, every act is part of prayer." So this study becomes a thoughtful examination of man’s relationship with God in every area of life, and not just the few minutes of daily communication. Dr. Allen writes with a warmly human touch from his own experience and from that which many others have shared with him. This inspirational volume meets a great need and hunger for sound advice, for understanding, and for a common sense approach to the power-packed theme, "Prayer Changes Things."
