When God Is Silent: Let the Bible Teach You to Pray
()
About this ebook
Prayer is a conversation that moves primarily in one direction: from the believer who prays to the God who hears. If God appears silent, that does not mean that he is unresponsive. We always have God's attention. This book does more than answer questions like how and why we should pray—it also invites us to gain a sense of God, of his goodness, and the rich welcome that is waiting for us every time we approach him in the name of Jesus Christ.
