From pastor and theologian Eugene Peterson, an inspiring and insightful guide to that most vital—but oft-elusive—spiritual practice: prayer.  For those Christians who appreciate the necessity for prayer—and even yearn for it—but who struggle to find fulfillment and satisfaction in their prayer, Answering God holds the answers. To address this common obstacle, Eugene Peterson turns to the Psalms, drawing on his extensive knowledge in Biblical studies, history, and Hebrew. Peterson guides readers through the Psalms, offering insight and perspective to empower readers to dive more deeply and intimately into prayer.   For anyone struggling with prayer, or even those just looking to deepen, renew, or evolve their practice, Answering God offers a fresh look at the Psalms as dynamic tools for prayer.
