Morris Venden is best known in the Adventist Church for the sensible answers he gives to the questions people ask about how to make Christianity work in real life-such as:Why do other people always seem to get answers to their prayers, but I never do?Why should I expect answers to my prayers? The Bible says that God won't answer the prayers of a sinner. There's something I really want, but doesn't God get tired of hearing me ask for it over and over?Saying "Thy will be done" shows a lack of faith. Wouldn't we get more answers to prayer if we just told God what we want and then really believed we'd get it?Is God angry with me? Is that why He won't answer my prayer?In The Answer Is Prayer Venden responds to these and many other questions, both from the Bible and the writings of Ellen White. And, as always, he shows that underlying everything else is learning to know Jesus as a Friend. - The problem With PrayerKinds of PrayerWhy Pray?Arguing With GodIntercessory PrayerConditions to Answered PrayerPrayer and Cherished SinPrayer and Overcoming Prayer, Faith, and PromisiePrayer for HealingPersistence in PrayerWhen God SpeaksPrayer and FastingThy Will Be DonePray and WorkPrayer and PraiseWhy Things Get Worse When We Pray

Although Truman Capote's last novel was unfinished at the time of his death, its surviving portions offer a devastating group portrait of the high and low society of his time. • Includes the story La Cote Basque featured in the major FX series Feud: Capote Vs. the Swans. "Prose that makes the heart sing and the narrative fly." —The New York Times Book Review Tracing the career of a writer of uncertain parentage and omnivorous erotic tastes, Answered Prayers careens from a louche bar in Tangiers to a banquette at La Côte Basque, from literary salons to high-priced whorehouses. It takes in calculating beauties and sadistic husbands along with such real-life supporting characters as Colette, the Duchess of Windsor, Montgomery Clift, and Tallulah Bankhead. Above all, this malevolently finny book displays Capote at his most relentlessly observant and murderously witty.

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? "Why wasn't my prayer answered?" he asks. "It is no longer an abstract question to me. What should we do and how should we respond when our prayers--prayers that seem right and true and good--go unanswered?" In When God Doesn't Answer Your Prayer, Sittser continues exploring the issues he addressed in A Grace Disguised. He asks, "Why doesn't God answer our prayers? What, if anything, can we do about it?" Sittser is intensely committed to exploring the Christian faith, especially when it doesn't seem to "work." In this thoughtful and beautifully written book, he moves beyond easy answers and religious formulas to explore the goodness and greatness of a God who cannot be controlled but can be trusted. 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, the one who fulfills our deepest longings.
