My thoughts-
I thought When I Pray What Does God Do? was interesting.
I could tell Wilkinson was very interested in his subject matter both from a scientific point-of-view and a biblical point-of-view. He covered the subject of myths, out-of-date science, and new science and how they contradict what it is that it is said that God is doing when we pray.
The best chapters were the two that discussed what God taught us about prayer and how God does or does not respond to prayer.
I think this book could have had shorter chapters, summaries at then end of each chapter, and discussion questions to help tie everything together.
I think that with a little bit more work this book could be great. I recommend that people read it to see what they think.
