In many situations and throughout the ages, when people have petitioned God for the relief of their suffering, or the suffering of others, God has said no. This text attempts to provide simple and practical pastoral insights for the ordinary person who comes to listen to the Word of God in Church. Using the death of his own brother aged 25 from cancer, Father Lanahan offers thoughts on why God allows suffering, the meaning of prayer, the mystery of the universe, the death and resurrection of Jesus, the death of a loved one, and the promise of salvation.

December 2001

[excerpted]
Lanahan addresses the tough questions, then offers a hope-filled response. For anyone who has found themselves asking similar questions, this book will be a welcomed friend.

January/February 2002

This slim volume plunges to the heart of a contradiction that can torment even strong believers: How can God say "Ask and ye shall receive," and then deny our requests? Most will readers will emerge from these pages without a measurably better understanding of the mystery of suffering, but perhaps better able to live with it. Lanahan differentiates between prayer as relationship with God and prayer as petition...It is a rare work that tackles a basic human dissatisfaction with God so substantially.
