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 recounts in vivid detail my struggles and triumphs
as I learned by trial and error just what I had to do in order to get
God to grant my requests. Unlike many books on prayer, Petitioning
God never glosses over the huge difficulties in trying to maintain
faith in the face of everyday life.
The two main narratives traced during the course of the book are
a lesbian love story and a cancer story, both of which have happy
endings, thanks to my successful petitioning.
