More to Say to God
A Novel of Prayer, Family, and Grace
He remembered how long his grandfather prayed. Years later, he began to understand why.
A tender novel about family, the prayers that outlive us, and the quiet joy of knowing God in an unfinished life.
A prayer list for everything. A conversation still to discover.
Edmond (“Ed”) has a prayer list for everything: his uncertain job, his wife’s aching shoulder, and the distance between him and his adult son. A dependable church volunteer, he knows how to organize a meeting, solve a problem, and ask God for help. What he has nearly forgotten is how to enjoy being with Him.
When Ed overhears a grieving widow thanking God for ordinary kindnesses, her words awaken a childhood memory: his grandfather kneeling beside the bed, praying long after Ed had fallen asleep. He remembers the names, the whispered requests, and waking to find the old man still there. Now he begins to wonder what else those prayers held.
As a neighborhood supper threatens to unravel and an attempt to reconnect with his son goes wrong, Ed discovers how much he has expected prayer to put things right. Learning to give thanks is only the beginning. He must also listen, face uncomfortable truths, and offer an apology without knowing whether it will be accepted.
Through everyday conversations, gentle humor, and a grandfather’s enduring example, More to Say to God invites readers into a fuller life of prayer, with room for requests and forgiveness, gratitude and wonder, and fellowship with God while life remains unfinished.
