At its founding, the United States was an overwhelmingly Protestant country. However, over the last 250 years, it has become increasingly diverse with tens of millions of Catholics, millions of Latter-day Saints, Muslims, Hindus, and Jews, alongside a rapidly increasing share of Americans who claim no religious affiliation at all.

The book will address the difference between prayer and intercession as well as the impact of God's permissive and perfect will on how we pray.

But changes have been taking place at an accelerating pace in recent years.
