The Meaning of Prayer

The Meaning of Prayer by Harry Emerson Fosdick is a comprehensive exploration of the significance and purpose of prayer in our lives. Fosdick delves into the various forms of prayer, including petitionary prayer, intercessory prayer, and meditative prayer, and examines the role of prayer in personal growth, spiritual development, and social change. He also addresses common questions and misconceptions about prayer, such as whether prayer can change the course of events and whether prayer is necessary for salvation. Fosdick draws on his extensive knowledge of theology and philosophy to provide a thoughtful and insightful analysis of the power and meaning of prayer.
