Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Hardcover with dust jacket, stated first edition. (ISBN 1-58063-034-0) Very good copy, very good jacket. Foreword by Dr. Robert H. Schuller. Do military generals pray before they go to war? If two sports teams are praying to win the same game, does God choose one over the other? Do world leaders pray before crucial decisions? Why does God let some of the most beloved people in our lives pass away even though we prayed for them? Do you believe in the power of your own prayers? In early 1977, veteran broadcaster and celebrated talk show host Larry King was having dinner with his daughter, Chaia King, who is not shy about asking people pointed questions, found the tables turned when Chaia said, "You're always having conversations with powerful people, why not ask them about their prayers?" King, who generally thinks of himself as agnostic, was moved by his daughter's question. However he knew he'd need help if he was going to accurately address it. So he called his friend, Rabbi Irwin Katsof, and asked if he would be willing to act as his spiritual tutor as well as co-author of a timely and unspiritual book on the subject of prayer in America. And so began this book and King's spiritual journey a journey in which, with the encouragement of Rabbi Katsof, he grapples with the issue of faith in his own life and discovers a vast array of answers to Chaia's intriguing question. Because of his unique relationship with celebrities, political leaders, and other notables, King was able to query many of the world's most prominent people about their relationship with God and their intimate prayers. President Jimmy Carter, Alan Dershowitz, Muhammad Ali, President Gerald Ford, Shimon Peres, Barbara Bush, Noah Wyle, Steve Young, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Dr. Jack Kevorkian, Tommy Lasorda, Lou Holtz, Scott Hamilton, Alexander Haig, Senator John McCain, the Reverend Jerry Falwell, Dr. Robert H. Schuler, the Reverend Cecil Murray, Marianne Williamson, Pete Seeger, Willie Nelson, Anthony Robbins, Dr. Laura Schlessinger, and Dr. John Gray are among the people who offer their heartfelt beliefs about faith and spirituality.
