How I Know God Answers Prayer

Rosalind Goforth arrived in China in 1890 with her missionary husband and young children, and what she found there would test every ounce of her faith. Amidst political upheaval, outbreaks of plague, and the constant threat of danger in a foreign land, Goforth learned to bring every need, every fear, and every desperate plea directly to God. This book collects her most powerful memories: the prayer that saved her son from death, the provision that arrived impossibly on time, the peace that descended in the midst of chaos. But Goforth is honest about the harder truths too, the prayers that were answered in ways she did not expect or want, and the years of waiting that preceded certain answers. Her faith was not naive but hard-won, forged in the fire of real struggle. For readers seeking evidence that prayer transforms lives, or for those walking through their own seasons of uncertainty, this book offers both testimony and challenge.
