When God Doesn't Answer Your Prayer
Author: Jerry L. Sittser
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0310867061
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
More than a decade ago, Jerry Sittser prayed for the protection of his family, yet three of his loved ones--his daughter, his wife, and his mother--died in an automobile accident. What went wrong? "Why wasn't my prayer answered?" he asks. "It is no longer an abstract question to me. What should we do and how should we respond when our prayers--prayers that seem right and true and good--go unanswered?" In When God Doesn't Answer Your Prayer, Sittser continues exploring the issues he addressed in A Grace Disguised. He asks, "Why doesn't God answer our prayers? What, if anything, can we do about it?" Sittser is intensely committed to exploring the Christian faith, especially when it doesn't seem to "work." In this thoughtful and beautifully written book, he moves beyond easy answers and religious formulas to explore the goodness and greatness of a God who cannot be controlled but can be trusted. When God Doesn't Answer Your Prayer takes an honest and probing look at the problem of unanswered prayer. In doing so, it draws us ever deeper into a relationship with the God who is the end of all our prayers, the object of our faith, the one who fulfills our deepest longings.

These remarkable stories of answered prayers remind us that we are never alone In this inspiring collection, the work of angels takes many forms, including miracles, healings, and heavenly visitations.

The Key to Answered Prayer
Author: Rabbi Kirt A. Schneider
Publisher: Charisma Media
ISBN: 1636410731
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
"Have you ever wondered what prayers always move God to action? In the beginning there was no need for answered prayer. God placed Adam and Eve in the center of a bountiful garden, gave them dominion over His creation, and walked with them in the cool of the day. They had no hunger, no sorrow, no disease-it was a paradise on earth. Today, despite all our knowledge and understanding, we live on a planet full of the hunger, sorrow, and disease that were absent so long ago. How did we get to this point? Where is the God of the Bible in the midst of all this loneliness and pain? Why do our prayers often seem to go unanswered? In The Key to Answered Prayer, Rabbi Kirt A. Schneider takes you on a journey through the Scriptures to discover the heart of key prayers in the Old and New Testaments. Examining prayers of safety, provision, deliverance, forgiveness, thanksgiving, and more, this book reveals why God always answers certain prayers and how those themes can become a regular part of your prayer life. The relationship God first established with humanity was one of unhindered communication and companionship. He was enough. Now is the time to rediscover the greatest bond available to us"--
