How I Know God Answers Prayer

Prolific author Rosalind Goforth, with her husband Jonathan, were Presbyterian missionaries in China from 1888 to 1935. During the course of this nearly fifty years of ministry they experienced God's direct involvement through the miraculous transformation of souls, through His generous and timely provision for their needs, and through dramatic deliverance from disease, from persecution, and from violence during the 1900 Boxer Rebellion. All of these things were the direct result of prayer and trust. They even got a peek into God's ways in their lives when they would learn of the correlation between a great need and someone on the other side of the world being strongly compelled to pray. 

This book is a collection of the Goforth's personal testimonies to answered prayer. From the Foreword, "It was at the close of the 1908-10 furlough-during which, as a family, we had been blessed with many and, to our weak faith, wonderful answers to prayer-that my oldest son urged me to put down in some definite form the answers to prayer of my life, and extracted from me a solemn promise that I would do so. But months passed after returning to China, and the record had not been touched. Then came a sudden and serious illness which threatened my life, when the doctor told me I must not delay in getting my affairs in order. It was then that an overwhelming sense of regret took possession of me that I had not set down the prayer testimonies, and solemnly I covenanted with the Lord that if he would raise me up they should be written."
