When God Answers Prayer

Gracious and gentle as a teacher, Bob Russell is well-prepared, articulate and right on target --- whether he's speaking or teaching. Never one to deliver pat answers or simplistic formulas, Russell prefers to unpack theological ideas with keen, insightful questions. Looking for "all the answers" about prayer? They're not here. Instead, you'll get a thorough, careful, attentive look at Biblical passages on the topic --- some of which you've heard before, and some you may have missed. Now on my third journey through these pages, this book is assuming the role of "classic" on my bookshelves. If I'm reflecting on prayer and its mysteries, this is a book I turn to --- often. Fans of Russell will "hear" his voice in these pages. Those who don't yet know him will become fans after reading this wise and thoughtful volume.
