Surprised by Prayer: The Wonderful Ways God Answers

by Karen Barber

When we are really hungry, we can pop something in the microwave and it is ready to eat in minutes. When we want something we can't afford, we can use credits cards to get what we want right now. In a culture where we are used to fast results, it can be difficult to wait on God's answers to our prayers. But what if he has already answered us and we don't even know it? Karen Barber takes a fresh approach to prayer as she helps readers discover God's sometimes unlikely answers. With fascinating, real-life stories, she reveals the many ways God responded to the prayers of ordinary people: with supernatural miracles, inner nudges, mysterious events, humorous insights, and more. Barber's writing style will engage readers while the stories, Scriptures, and godly wisdom offer life-changing power. Each chapter is sure to shake up notions about what God's responses "should" look like and challenge readers to discover what they really do look like.
