OVERVIEW

Pete Grieg is unfortunately an expert on unanswered prayer in a personal way. His wife Sammy has an epileptic condition that God has not removed. So the author speaks from his own experience as well as years of listening and studying.

This is a powerful study of unanswered prayer, set out in a very organized and easy to understand albeit not always easy to take in. Grieg takes readers through the pain of Maundy Thursday and Good Friday, the silence of Holy Saturday and on to the answered prayer of Easter morning! It is most likely a resource that will be read and reread.
