This review is from: The Fire of Delayed Answers: Are You Waiting for Your Prayers to Be Answered? (Paperback)

Bob Sorge is pastoral and prophetic in his message about unanswered prayers and suffering. He truly imparts insight, understanding and hope. I highly recommend this book for anyone whose theological underpinnings have been blown out by circumstances. The author guides one out of the minefield of questions such as "Lord, what is happening in my life? Why is nothing working the way it used to work? Why have You seemingly abandoned me?" He leads us through the theological crises of several Biblical characters and encourages the soul with this Word of God. A must read for anyone waiting on God...

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, a book that gives hope!, July 17, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Fire of Delayed Answers: Are You Waiting for Your Prayers to Be Answered? (Paperback)

This book touches the heart of those who wonder whether God heard their prayers. It gives a reason to hope in our waiting. This author writes with such passion, as a man who is waiting on God for healing. This book has deepened my walk with God as I found reason to rejoice in my waiting. I finally understand that God is working and I can trust Him in the midst of circumstances I don't exactly care for. Solid biblical references to Moses, David, Paul, and Job are excellent. A great book for those who are sick of suffering and feel that God hasn't heard their cry!

5.0 out of 5 stars Growing Maturity in the Christian Life, June 5, 2003

This review is from: The Fire of Delayed Answers: Are You Waiting for Your Prayers to Be Answered? (Paperback)

Fantastic book! If you are looking for a resource to help take you deeper into understanding the word of God and the workings of God, then this it. So many times throughout the book, Mr. Sorge captures exactly what I am thinking and saying as I go through my own "fire" in life right now. His writing on God's purposes for broken faith and broken strength make sense and bring me peace that I am right where God wants me to be. It helps me to know that God is pouring out his mercy and love on me at this time in my life to prepare me for His works and blessings. In short, this book is helping me get where I wanted to go, which was to grow in intimacy with God.

The only caution I have is that this is a very meaty read. It is deep spiritual work and highly thought-provoking. I'm not sure I would recommend it to new Christians because I think you need to have a certain level of maturity in your Christian life to really comprehend and incorporate the teachings from this book into your spiritual walk.

Overall, just a fantastic book!
