Touched by God

This book chronicles the well-known author's personal pilgrimage of prayer. It details his own deeply personal growth in prayer in the most intimate conversational style. His struggles with faith are shared honestly. Stories and illustrations abound. This book is highly recommended for those who are grappling with faith and prayer and God. Powell ends his little power-packed book with two examples that leave the reader with real hope that anyone can find God through Jesus Christ. I read this book over 20 years ago. It's influence remains a part of my own personal prayer life to this day. Very few books have this lasting of an impact.

This book is about a genuine journey of faith. I was able to relate to many of the struggles that Father Powell wrote about. Instead of always portraying himself as Mr. Enthusiastic, he writes about both triumphs and struggles in prayer. This book is excellent for someone who is struggling to grow in his/her faith as well as someone who thinks he/she has it all together.By the way, this book was originally pubished under the title He Touched Me.
