Does prayer really makes a difference? This is a common question among Christians. Initially, many start out with conviction, motivated by words such as "pray and you will receive." Later, however, we see that some serious prayers are not granted. And as we weather crisis, economic upheavals and vicissitudes of life, our faith is repeatedly scorched by trials and adversities. Feeling discouraged that prayers are not answered in the way Jesus appeared to promise, some stop praying, while others continue to do so perfunctorily. Quite a few try to figure out how to pray so that God will grant their petitions, but with little or no avail. "Understanding Prayer, Faith and God's Will" confronts these issues that have beleaguered many of us. Much of our inner doubts stems from the way we read the Bible superficially and misinterpret, which in turn lead to false expectations. Now, by expounding what the Scriptures really say about prayer, this book delves into the spirit of the words and relates them to our common and collective experiences. It fortifies faith with biblical truths. "What is God's will for my life?" Even though many serious Christians seek earnestly, this area continues to be a jigsaw puzzle with missing pieces. Too often, we read interpret verses about God's will without comprehending the way that His Word was written, and go on to figure out "His will" using our human logic. Such mistakes can lead to spiritual fatigue and discouragement when we make plans and decisions that we think are according to "God's will" but which turn out to be wrong. Now, by observing how the Lord called Abraham, Joseph and David, this book reveals biblical truths that are not told before. It does not hover in theological space, but instead, serves as a compass for practical situations. It provides clarity in the way you will see - and seek - God's will. Did the creation happen in six days literally? Are you puzzled by verses such as "God hardened Pharaoh's heart"? Or what did the Lord mean He said to Isaiah, "They shall hear but do not understand... Make the hearts of these people callous" - did He cause the people to be spiritually blind? "Does God predestine or choose who shall be saved?" is another question that has caused much controversies as different theologies present their views. "Understanding Prayer, Faith and God's Will" reveals the truths simply and elegantly. Whether you are just beginning to read the Bible, or want to appreciate God's Word at the next level, this unusually perceptive book is a useful guide for Christian living.
