But the occasion was essentially serious. All of America ...

The Bible contains numerous models of prayers offered to God by His people. Even Jesus prayed to His Father and spent significant time in solitude listening to Him. Yet it seems that today very few Christians actually spend time with the Lord.

Lewis drew on his own observations of American religious life, including stints attending revival meetings and consul...
