Each of them bring a fresh and powerful perspective to prayer. One by Francis Chan, another by James MacDonald, the third by John Ortberg, and the last by Bill Hybels. In case the very undescriptive description didn't answer your questions, this book or audiobook is a collection of sermons. There were multiple times I caught myself tearing up, and I definitely would've ugly cried if I was alone (which I wish I had been, because this book calls you to a prayer of repentance). Let me tell you, I wouldn't advise you listen to this in a public place. While the book is called 'Waiting on God,' it's really all about prayer. This 4-part collection of sermons is powerful and anointed. This is a quick read that I would recommend to any Christian looking for a good Christian Living book. This was a call to action for me and I loved how we had 4 different perspectives that all pointed towards a closer relationship with God. All four sermons come across as very personal and make wonderful points that a Christian should be able to incorporate into their life immediately. So while waiting on God is a consistent theme throughout the book, I would also add that there is a large emphasis on your prayer life, which of course ties in nicely with waiting and patience. The rest are “When God Doesn’t Listen” by the always amazing Francis Chan, “Submission Through Prayer” by James MacDonald, and “Why We Shouldn’t Give Up On Prayer” by Bill Hybels (who was new to me). While the book is called “Waiting On God,” that is actually just the first sermon by John Ortberg. The greatest answer to prayer is when God has changed you through prayer when you prayed and prayed and prayed, and God changed you.” But more and more, I see how prayer changes us.
“As humans with needs, we tend to focus on prayer changing our circumstances. “Waiting on the Lord is a confident, disciplined, expectant, active, sometimes painful clinging to God.”
There are few seasons more difficult than the ones that make us wait.”
