Have you been away from God for a long time? Are you starting to doubt your faith? Have you always been a Christian, but even though you "do" things right, you still struggle? Have you given up on God?
This book might help you see things from a different perspective. I'll be adding some quotes from the book that just stood out to me.
DISCLAIMER: This book does not contain all the answers to your questions or your doubts. This book will help you see that God is still doing miracles and He is still answering prayers. This book just shows that we as a people have stopped praying.
Matthew Brown points out, from early in the book, that people don't have time for God anymore. We don't see the miracles around us because we expect things to always go our way. "Many people don't have time for faith because they are busy with life".
"This book is about inviting its readers to the one thing that doesn't change in this world: the one constant, unchanging, eternal force." GOD! He is, was, and always will be the same. People change and flip-flop all the time. We want miracles and when they don't happen we get angry. However, we don't even ask. You can't receive what you don't ask for.
For those non-Christians who want to argue about all the miracles that God didn't answer, there is always a reason. There is pain in life. That is normal. As Matthew Brown states, "...believing in Jesus is easy when everything in life is great. Still believing in Jesus when everything falls apart is another thing entirely."
A major theme in this book is prayer. How to pray, when to pray, why we pray, and what to pray. Pray, pray, pray. God won't answer your prayers exactly how you want them answered. But He WILL answer. When we suffer, we blame God. When life is good we tend to forget God. This book highlights a good thing to ask yourself when life is hard, What does God want me to learn right now? "The suffering you are enduring will not last forever, but the lessons you learn will." That line right there stood out to me because when I thought I had lost everything, I blamed God. When I came out of it, I saw God. I saw the lesson He needed me to learn.
This book is worth the read.
