Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 15
More than a decade ago, Jerry Sittser prayed for the protection of his family, yet three of his loved ones - his daughter, his wife, and his mother - died in an automobile accident. What went wrong? When God Doesn't Answer Your Prayer takes an honest and probing look at the problem of unanswered prayer. In doing so, it draws us ever deeper into a relationship with the God who is the end of all our prayers, the object of our faith, and the one who fulfills our deepest longings.

Practical and realistic
Revisado: 03-29-06
Contrasting this book with prosperity gospel messages, Sittser is more realistic and in line with scripture when it comes to what we can expect out of prayer. He offers insights of how American consumerism has seeped into our understanding of who God is and His role in our prayer lives. Our Ginnie-in-the-bottle attitudes toward the spiritual life must be corrected if we are to ever understand the true heart of God and grow in our relationship with Him through prayer. He reminds us of a forgotten foundation of Christian theology, which focuses our hope in the eternal, not the prosperity of this world.

Good reminders, but some problems
Revisado: 01-10-06
The book's main message of being positive, is a source of strength. But some parts, such as God assigning preferential treatment to his children in materialistic and lavish ways ( as in his example of being re-assigned a First Class seat on the airplane), gives Christianity the reputation of being a snobbish me-first faith. This is contrary to the scriptures where our blessings are heavenly treasures instead of earthy ones. Joel seems to have forgotten the verses such as "the last shall be first and the first shall be last" which cultivate a spirit of humility and hope in the eternal rewards which are worth far more than anything this life can offer. And one has to ask the question, "What about those who are not traveling a First Class lifestyle?" Are they somehow less preferred by God? These are the dangerous implications of a prosperity gospel. But the book did have a lot of good reminders of being positive and I give it three stars because of that!
