Prayer: My Soul's Adventure with God is a spiritual autobiography and an inspiring look at how prayer can lead you into a vital and fulfilling life. For over half a century God has been answering prayer and working in Robert Schuller's life. This personal journey offers an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at the early days when a young pastor and his wife started a church at a Southern California drive-in theater; how faith and prayer built the beautiful, seventeen million dollar Crystal Cathedral; the miraculous beginnings of the Hour of Power program and its tremendous growth into a worldwide outreach; what happened when rumors started to mount about Schuller's ministry after the TV evangelist scandals of the 1980s; Schuller's recent miraculous recovery from a life-threatening coma; God's care and faithfulness through family crises and personal loss; and the ways Dr. Schuller's ministry has touched lives, not only throughout the United States, but around the world.
Robert Harold Schuller is an American televangelist, pastor, and author known around the world through his weekly Hour of Power television broadcast. He is the founder of the Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove, California, where the Hour of Power program originates.
Schuller was born a few miles outside of Alton, Iowa to a family of Dutch ancestry and, after finishing his studies at Hope College and Western Theological Seminary, was ordained as a minister in the Reformed Church in America.
Strongly influenced by his mentor, Norman Vincent Peale, Schuller has chosen to focus on what he believes are the positive aspects of the Christian faith. He deliberately avoids condemning people for sin, and he encourages Christians (and non-Christians) to achieve great things through God, uplifting theology and positive thinking.
