When God Doesn't Answer Your Prayer

Summary: Best Book on This Subject
Review: Dearest friends, my admiration for this book is so complete that I feel the need to raise my right hand and swear that I am not an employee of the publisher nor a relative of the author! So help me God, when I first began reading "When God Doesn't Answer Your Prayer," I was certain that it would become one of my "top ten" lifetime favorites; upon finishing it last night, it was difficult to remember the other nine.

Amazon's review guidelines ask us to reveal why we "liked or disliked the item," but I am at a rare loss for words. Instead, I will let Professor Sittser speak for himself, with my personal assurance that nearly every page brims with the same hard-won wisdom:

"The greatest answer to prayer is not what God does FOR us, but IN us."

This book is certain to change lives, and that, dearest Amazon, is why.

Summary: Comforting Words in Times of Trouble
Review: This book isn't filled with quick and easy answers to why God doesn't answer our prayers. But rather the author tries to encourage the reader down a path that he himself has traveled before and still walks. Jerry Sittser uses both Scripture and his personal experience to reflect upon the difficult times in life when God seems distant and when prayers go unanswered. This book was very encouraging for me for I am currently going through a difficult time in life. Did it solve all my problems? No...rather it was an encouraging testimony to what it is to learn from life and moments like these.

Review: When books move you it's time to tell others. Anyone who has ever seen a loss or has suffered pain can find some comfort in this book. It is written by a man who has been there and hung on to God through it. The book is powerful because it is filled with truth and does not give excuses. Jerry Sittser talks about real pain and the results in his life. He has something profound to say about it and in that did something for my soul.
