"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

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.

It arrived on time and in excellent condition. Would order again from this same vendor.
