Book Description

March 1, 2007
"Why Me, God? Why Now?"

Some of the most sincere prayers we can address to God are, "Why, God?," "When, God?," or "How, God?"

Facing our ignorance and lack of understanding is the basis of any ongoing prayer dialogue with God. Consider what happens when we're facing a life crisis -- death, illness, or loss -- and the only kind of prayer we're capable of is a string of questions flung to heaven.

But we can also feel free to ask questions of God in everyday prayer as we look to him for motivation, inspiration, and understanding.

An experienced pastor currently serving as Bishop of Charleston, South Carolina, Bishop Robert J. Baker says a question put to God can be a real sign of faith and trust, especially when we bring those questions to prayer.

This unique aid to prayer and meditation will guide you to the core of your relationship with God and your understanding of his plan for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Prayer of Faith, June 7, 2009
This review is from: The Questioner's Prayer (Paperback)
"The Questioner's Prayer" is a small book on prayer. In addition to the four kinds of prayer you may have heard of -- Adoration, Contrition, Thanksgiving and Supplication, Bishop Baker states there is another type of prayer -- "Questioning". We need to ask questions if we want to receive answers from God. The questioner is the one seeking the truth about life and love.

Here are the contents of the book:

Preface

Introduction

I. Why?

II. How?

III. When?

IV. What?

V. Where?

VI. Who?

Epilogue: Our Lord's Question

A Final Prayer

Acknowledgements

Notes

The greatest "Why" prayer of all time was prayed by Jesus on the cross when he cried out, "My God, My God why have you forsaken me?" When we encounter tragedy and difficulties in our lives, we too may ask "Why". Baker assures us that asking questions of God is a good thing. Failing to ask God a question may reflect a lack of faith, but asking is a sign of faith.

The author includes a number of additional resources at the end of each chapter for the reader who is seeking more knowledge. I am eager to read a couple of the books mentioned.
