Whether a skeptic or believer, most people have pondered: Why would a perfectly good and all-powerful God sometimes seem to be silent and hidden amid distress? John Peckham tackles this and more through his thorough, Bible-saturated, canonical approach with hundreds of Biblical references. He addresses each of the variables associated with answered and unanswered prayer, giving insight into how the Bible counsels us to pray while also looking at what the Bible says about God's response and orientation toward answering our prayers. This is by far the most detailed book on prayer I have read, and I will be recommending it to anyone with questions about prayer for years to come.
