Dramatic Stories of Answered Prayer Encourage People to Trust in God

ENUMCLAW, Wash., July 5, 2011 /Standard Newswire/ -- The compilation of true stories in "Hurray God! Hope, Pray, Believe," detail answers that ordinary folks have received to their desperate prayers. Jeanette Sharp, who compiled the stories, desires to let readers know that God is concerned about them, whether they seek quiet direction in their daily life, or something more urgent such as needing rescue from fire, drowning, attack, injury, freezing weather, or other desperate situations.

Included is the account of a young man and his companions escaping certain death in a fiery automobile crash. Another story reveals how a foster mother prayed in a grocery store for her funds to stretch, and a mysterious man handed her a wad of bills. At the end of each chapter, Sharp includes a Prayer Nugget page where readers can record their prayers.

"The theme of 'Hurray God!' is that God does answer prayer," Sharp says, "even though some answers are not quite what we expect nor on the timetable we would like. That's when we learn to trust God's heart of love."

The author's interest in prayer began when she was ten years old and her father had just died. All alone on a dark street in freezing weather, she whispered a desperate prayer, unsure if God even heard it. However, the answer came just moments later. Awestruck, the little girl ran home to tell her family. "That experience convinced me that God saw me, knew me, and loved me," says Sharp. "I compiled this book to encourage people to discover the power of prayer and to inspire them to journal their prayers and watch what happens."

Jeanette Sharp's writing has appeared in "Chicken Soup for the Soul: Answered Prayers," "Cup of Comfort Book of Bible Promises," and "A Scrapbook of Christmas Firsts." She is president of Hurray God! LLC, and lives in Oklahoma with her husband, Jim.
