Review: Frenn breaks prayer down into 7 areas: Direction, Forgiveness, Freedom, Provision, Healing, Blessing and Salvation. In each chapter he gives you an example story of what he means by the chapter. Then he gives biblical examples of God answering that type of prayer.He follows that up with areas/ways in which the prayers can be answered in your life. The third section is the miracle/hope section where he shows instances where they do occur. And finally he sums up the chapter and brings home key points. All of this makes this an excellent teaching book for bible study/church classes!


Examples of really good insight from the book:

• Why doesn't God answer my prayer? God answers prayer with one of three responses, yes, no, or wait. In many cases, His answer might be affirmative, but the timing might not be right. So we must wait (which we don;t realize, so we think he is NOT answering). At times, His answer is no, and we find it very difficult to accept that as an answer. Either way, we must exercise patience and faith. All and all, God wants what’s best for our lives, and if we remember that when we pray, we can expect wonderful, even powerful things to occur in our lives (Hebrews 12:5-8).

• Does prayer change God's mind? If our prayers had no influence, then why would God encourage us to pray? Regardless if they change God’s mind or not, one thing is certain. Prayer changes our circumstances, and they have great impact on our own lives and on the world around us. When it comes to healing us from illness, we need to remember that healing isn't only limited to our earthly bodies, he heals our hearts and souls as well. We do not know God's plan, so he may not heal our body from illness, but heal our heart and soul.  God knows what His will is. He waiting for us to share ours with Him. James 5:16; Exodus 32:11-14. 

• Are there areas where we can expect miracles? Yes! God will provide for our basic needs, financial needs, open new doors/provide opportunities and be a presence in your life, even when you don't realize it. He may not grant you a win in the lottery, but he WILL see that your needs are met IF you let go of avarice, and trust that God will provide. Psalms 125:1-2

This is a great book to read if you are questioning why prayers have not/will be answered by God. Fenn writes in an easily approachable style and it is like talking with a friend, rather than a bible scholar. If you know someone who is in doubt, get them this book! It will answer their questions and strengthen their faith!
