America Looks Up
Overview
In a time such as this, believers and unbelievers alike, are turning to God like never before - Max Lucado helps us understand how to pray despite doubt and fear.
When tragedy strikes, people desperately search for answers. On September 11, 2001, our Nation began that desperate search. There wasn't a city, a family, or a single person that survived unaffected by the horrific events of that infamous day. Best-selling author and pastor Max Lucado points to the only real answer: Prayer. Derived from Max's prayer for the Nation in response to the attacks, America Looks Up explores how we should pray in these uncertain and confusing days.
