When God Doesn't Answer Your Prayer

Jerry Sittser didn't write this book from a comfortable distance — he lost his daughter, wife, and mother in a single accident while praying for their safety, and that lived weight gives every theological reflection an honesty rare in Christian self-help. Publishers Weekly called it luminous, and the description holds: it asks hard questions about prayer and sovereignty without flinching and without offering tidy answers. For Christians sitting with doubt or grief, this is one of the better books in the genre.
