Powerful Prayers: Conversations on Faith, Hope, and the Human Spirit with Some of Today's Most Provocative People

Mr. King delved into the foundation of Spirituality and Religion and made simple an otherwise complex and controversial issue. The book focuses on the individual and his or her communication with God, while setting aside religious beliefs. I would like to recommend to friends who are too formal about prayers and to those who maybe agnostic such as Larry King in his book.

Interviewing famous people on this subject sounds a little haimisher, but it works. While you would expect some of the characters interviewed to have limited attention spans, the book is interesting and thoughtful. Thank you Larry and your rebbe friend.

Unlike most "religious" category books, this book lacks the preachy quality that causes most readers to not absorb the text. This book insightfully breaks down barriers between different religious beliefs and simply brings forth the universal belief in a higher power. The people that Larry King and Rabbi Katsof chose to interview are made more personable and are made more tangible through their everyday prayers, which are similar to ours, and their quest to be closer to God. This book would make a fabulous holiday gift that is sure to please a recipient of any religious background.

I was greatly moved by reading this discussion between Larry King and Rabbi Katsof. It will help the novice prayer or the advanced grow in their relationship with G-d. It is fast paced ,funny,easy going. Hard to put down. It lifted me up and made me decide to become more real in my interactions with G-d. I highly reccomend it for anyone who wants to become closer to the Almighty.

are prevalent through every chapter of this wonderful and entertaining book. I can almost feel God laughing out loud and smiling with satisfaction that it is a proven fact: "everyone does it" --- pray, that is. Larry King has again managed to ask the questions (as well as get the answers) that are deeply personal and enriching. We all come out the better for it. It was a thoroughly enjoyable read from start to finish! I can't wait for him to continue the dialogue. I definitely want more.
