Forthcoming by Sara Anderson
Based on a spiritual journal I kept for several years in my mid-to-late
forties, Petitioning God: What I Really Had to Do to Get My
Prayers Answered describes in lively detail my struggles and
triumphs as I learned what I had to do to get God to grant my
requests. Unlike many books on prayer, Petitioning God never
ignores the huge difficulty of trying to maintain faith in the face of
everyday life.
The two main narratives traced in the book are a lesbian love story
and a cancer story, both of which have happy outcomes, thanks to
my successful petitioning.
You can read the whole thing in condensed form at the Excerpts
page, as well as a major early chapter at the Sample Chapter page.
And I welcome all feedback, positive or negative!

About the book:
Sara Anderson, Ph.D., is a freelance writer & editor, an
independent scholar, and a former teacher at the secondary and
college levels. After the creator-sustainer of the universe revealed
him- or her- or itself to her in an almost frightening incident at a
ninth-grade Bible study in 1971, she began sending up pleas for
help, especially with her congenital hearing impairment, the one area
of her life where she knew she was not in control. Over the decades
since, she has experimented continually, trying to learn as much as
she can about how we can get prayers answered.
