When God Doesn't Answer Your Prayer

Do Our Prayers Really Make a Difference?A beloved husband dies of cancer. A child is kidnaped. A family is shattered by a fatal car accident. We pray for peace and protection in a world that seems to be falling apart. Often we experience or hear about spectacular answers to prayer. But where is God when the cry of our hearts seems to be answered with silence? When God Doesn’t Answer Your Prayer explores the mysteries and paradoxes of unanswered prayer. Forged in the fires of his personal quest following his own crushing experience of unanswered prayer, Jerry Sittser offers hard-won spiritual insights that affirm the greatness of God’s love and concern for us, even when we do not fully understand why our prayers seem to go unanswered.
