Recommended Read: Unrelenting Prayer, Bob Sorge

In an age of shallow teaching and shallow faith, Bob Sorge's book Unrelenting Prayer is refreshing.  It's refreshing because it's not the same name it and claim it, blab it and grab it foolishness that has become so popular in American Christianity.

Several years ago I heard the profound Bob Sorge speak at Shiloh Church.  Bob Sorge suffered a vocal injury during a botched surgery years ago.  When he speaks it's pretty hard to hear him but it's definitely worth it.  He believes that the Lord will supernaturally heal him and that is his unrelenting prayer.

With that being said, his book Unrelenting Prayer provides the readers a great insight on Waiting for God to answer their prayers.  Using the parable of the Persistent Widow Jesus talked about in Luke 18, Pastor Bob implores the readers not to give up!

Having been in a barren season for a minute now I was cheerleading a lot of what he was saying because I have experienced it such as Preservation and Favor over your life when you are waiting.

The reasons for your wait vary.  For many people it's to teach them to trust God and to also grow your expectations for what you believe that you will receive from God.  Also your wait will give you the credibility and AUTHORITY to speak to others and point to the Lord.

Best of all our wait will MAXIMIZE the Glory God will receive! Isn't that the entire point?    

Bob Sorge also gives some fantastic insight onto what the Speedily of God really means in the parable.  It doesn't mean the length of the unanswered prayer will be speedily, it means that when God begins to avenge us...things will happen speedily!  

This is one of the best and most encouraging books I have ever read on prayer!  I highly recommend it!
