Product description...

Is it possible to ask God a question and receive an answer through prayer?

Is it possible to ask God a question, and get an answer through prayer? The author's response is intertwined throughout a series of engaging personal anecdotes. Some are faith-affirming, some are cautionary, and some are guaranteed to leave the reader laughing out loud; but they all revolve around the pivotal moment of his life, when he made the attempt, and reached out to God in prayer asking what he should do. The astonishing answer that he received precipitated a life-changing spiritual upheaval which is deftly depicted here through the author's undeniable narrative gift, one he honed as a playwright. His episodic approach defies categorization, as he fires off stories haphazardly. This is not a memoir with seamless segues; it is rather an edifying grab bag of raw events. The book is intended both for those who believe in God as well as those who have no intention of ever getting religion, but who wonder why anyone in their right mind would and what that might look like from the inside. Soon after completing this book, and, ironically, deciding on the final cover design, the author was diagnosed with esophageal adenocarcinoma, which offers little hope for a successful course of treatment. He is content to leave the matter in God's hands, though he intends to fight to stay with the love of his life, his wife, Tetiana.
