About this listen
Called "the best preacher in the family", by her father, Billy Graham, Anne Graham Lotz speaks around the globe with the wisdom and the authority of years spent studying God's word. In her latest audiobook, Anne shares her heart and God's teachings on the universal problem of suffering.
Drawing her characteristically keen insights from the familiar story of Lazarus in the ninth and 11th chapters of the Gospel of John, Anne offers Jesus' reassuring answers to our heartfelt cries for understanding:
- Why doesn't God care?
- Why does he let these things happen?
- Why me?
- Why doesn't God answer my prayers?
- Why didn't he protect me?
- Why doesn't he perform a miracle?
Why? helps us understand and deal with suffering while guiding us to the ultimate answer - the savior who shares our grief and our tears.

Many people today find that their prayers don't work. And like a broken cell phone, DVD player, or TV remote, they throw prayer out as unnecessary clutter in their busy lives. Anne Graham Lotz has found that while prayer does work, sometimes the pray-ers don't. So she has turned to the prophet Daniel for help. The Daniel Prayer is born deep within your soul, erupts through your heart, and pours out on your lips, words created by and infused with the Spirit of God, quivering with spiritual electricity.

What is the secret to praying prayers that really "work"? In this distilled adaptation of her best-selling book The Daniel Prayer, a plan for praying effective prayers that God answers is presented through unpacking the ancient prayer of the prophet Daniel, a prayer that moved heaven and changed a nation and one that even today can deliver on God's promises. The prayer that storms the gates of Heaven is not a run-of-the-mill type of prayer. It’s a commitment that perseveres over any and every obstacle until God’s promises have been claimed and His purposes fulfilled.

What are the secrets of a successful, steadfast, and godly faith? Daniel was honored by God, protected, and trusted. His faith did not waver facing those who were against him, serving new kings in power, or even confronting hungry lions. How can you have that kind of faith? Daniel made 20 intentional, key choices in his life. Those choices took him down a path to a close relationship with God and a model for godly living to all around him.

We’ve never been more educated and entertained. We have technological tools our parents could only dream of, and we are saturated with information, amusement, and recreation. Yet more than ever, we are starving for hope. After 40 years of counseling and ministry, Max Lucado has learned that nothing lifts the desperate, weary heart like the promises of God. In a world full of despair, depression, anxiety, and instability, we do not need more opinions or hunches; we need the definitive declarations of our mighty and loving God.

Life often looks so very different than we hoped or expected. Some events may simply catch us off guard for a season, but others shatter us completely. We feel disappointed and disillusioned at best and overwhelmed and hopeless at worst. We quietly start to wonder about the reality of God’s goodness and why he allows us to suffer and experience grief and loss. Lysa TerKeurst understands this deeply. But after many tears, godly counseling, and prayerful seeking, she's also discovered that our disappointments can be the divine appointments our souls need to radically encounter God.

Great, but lacking some for the grieving
Really great dive into the truth of who God is and a good re-grounding into Christianity’s most basic truths about God. If you’re grieving it’s not necessarily a soft journey into healing but it certainly is a good starting point in remembering our savior and who he is.

I’ve listened to this audiobook twice now, it’s that good. Anne’s voice is soothing and her words are comforting, and nothing can compare to how God’s Word is a balm for our weary souls.
This is a book I will listen to again and again, I’m sure of that. Highly recommend!
