Endorsements:

"In this succinct but powerful book, longtime pastor Ste Casey tackles head-on the experience of disorientation and disillusionment we often face in the wake of persistently unanswered prayer. What is God up to amid our weakness and waiting? Written with pastoral warmth and rich biblical insight, I Prayed and Nothing Changed points the reader repeatedly toward the sufficient grace of Jesus Christ at work transforming us in our darkest and most hopeless places."

"In the agonizing experience of unanswered prayer, we long for a wise and compassionate companion to walk with us. Filled with honesty, drenched in grace, and so powerfully personal, this book is that companion. It will be a blessing to many, particularly because in regard to unanswered prayer, Ste Casey is not just a faithful guide but also a fellow traveler."
--Steve Midgley, Executive Director, Biblical Counselling UK

"This book is powerful and practical, making a very helpful contribution to a common human experience. Ste helps us to see what we don't always want to see about who God is and what he is up to when it seems as though he is doing nothing. This book is gritty, honest, and relentlessly practical. I highly recommend it."
