After Amen: What to Do When You're Waiting on God by Rusty George

★★★★ ☐ The publisher has provided a copy for review. 

In our impatient culture where instant answers and quick gratification are valued, how do we respond to God when our prayers seem unanswered? What is happening when God is not responding as expected - either with a no or a not-yet? 

This workbook on the practice of prayer will help you examine the questions you are asking when prayer seems not to be "working" in your life or in those you know are praying. What expectations do you have (God as divine vending machine, God as indifferent, God as uncaring)? And how do you reconcile the sovereignty of God with his invitation to his children to ask for whatever they need? What if his answer is no instead of yes? What if you never hear an answer at all?

This book is an excellent interactive resource for small group or individual study. Consider sending a copy to a friend and read it together - discussion will make it richer. You'll be more open to the creative and unexpected answers of God. Recommended.
