Summary "In Answer to Prayer" by Carpenter, Cuyler, Knox-Little, Maclaren, and Quarrier is a collection of essays on the topic of prayer, written in the late 19th century. The volume features contributions from various Christian leaders who share their insights, experiences, and reflections on the nature, power, and efficacy of prayer in the life of believers. The book offers a profound exploration of how prayer can influence spiritual growth, foster connection with God, and cultivate a deeper understanding of one’s faith. The opening of the work presents the thoughts of the Right Rev. W. Boyd Carpenter, who emphasizes the significance of prayer and the personal experiences connected to answered prayers. He notes the diversity in how individuals relate to prayer, highlighting that some may receive powerful personal revelations while others experience more subdued responses. He articulates a paradox wherein some prayers that appear to be unanswered may actually yield profound spiritual insights or indirect answers that align with a greater divine purpose. Through various illustrations, he addresses the theme that true prayer is often about surrendering to God's will and acknowledging one's limited understanding of the divine plan. This sets the tone for a collection that aims to inspire readers to engage in prayer with a sense of trust and openness to the ways in which God may respond.
