In Larry King's Powerful Prayers: Conversations on Faith, Hope, and
the Human Spirit with Today's Most Provocative People, the Emmy
Award-winning king of the interview asks some of the world's most
prominent, glamorous, and intriguing figures to answer the most
profound questions of our times--questions that deal with the
resurgence of faith and spirituality. Recent surveys indicating
fifty percent of all Americans are now praying at least once a day,
and nine out of ten people in the nation's largest and most
unconventional city, New York, believe in God. The current public
attraction toward religion-oriented books, radio and television
programs further reflects this renewed interest in spirituality.
Through his unique relationships with celebrities and political
leaders, King explores the intimate prayers of such famous
personalities as President Jimmy Carter, President Gerald Ford,
Shimon Peres, Barbara Bush, Noah Wylie, Muhammad Ali, Steve Young,
Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Tommy Lasorda, Lou Holtz, Scott Hamilton,
Alexander Haig, Senator John McCain, Reverend Jerry Falwell,
Reverend Cecil Murray, Alan Dershowitz, Marianne Williamson, Pete
Seeger, Willie Nelson, Jack Kevorkian, Anthony Robbins, Dr. Laura
Schlesinger, Dr. John Gray, and many others. Powerful Prayers
examines the lives that have been suddenly and permanently altered
through prayer, and lives that are sustained by its everyday
practice. It reveals the prayers of world leaders prior to crucial
decisions, businessmen before closing a big deal, players and
coaches before the big game, and generals during battle, then
questions if praying to win is the same as praying for someone else
to lose. It explores prayers of thanks and prayers for things, and
asks if offering something in return for answered prayers is simply
bargaining with God. Powerful Prayers is fascinating, informative,
insightful, and inspirational. It is a perfect blend of the secular
and the spiritual--a bestseller with heart.
