		<description><![CDATA[What Are We Doing When We Pray? On Prayer and The Nature of Faith, a book by Vincent Brummer. Brummer's book is a concise and sophisticated book which addresses the practical question of whether prayer makes a difference in the lives of believers. Brummer addresses a classic difficulty that was initially raised by Kant and other philosophers and theists about whether prayer is only a private mental exercise or something much more than this. Brummer argues that, for believers, prayer has the power to transform the ordinary into something extraordinary. Prayer is more than a bunch of words that believers utter to God. Prayer is a way of opening our lines of communication with God on a deep level by telling God our wishes, desires, deep-seated fears, and disappointments. Prayer is a unique way of communicating with God that isn't really possible by any other means.
