Barna Research Group finds 44 percent of Americans surveyed in 2004 said they read the Bible weekly outside church, up from 36 percent in 1999. Eighty-three percent of those surveyed in 2004 said they had prayed to God in the past week, up from 77 percent in 1999, the Christian Science Monitor reports. Because of the demand for one-on-one spiritual counseling, the number of spiritual directors worldwide is up to 4,300 from 3,500 in 1998, says Spiritual Directors International.
