Don’t You Care That We Are Drowning? (And Other Unexpected Prayers) by Brian Spahr invites readers into a profound exploration of grief, doubt, and raw honesty in prayer. Drawing from his experiences as a hospital chaplain, Spahr shares real-life stories of people navigating life's most painful storms. Each story reflects a cry to God—whether desperate, angry, or confused—and highlights how prayer can be as simple as saying, "This sucks," or as raw as, "Why don’t you do something?"

Inspired by Mark 4:35-41, where the disciples plead with Jesus during a storm, Spahr redefines prayer as unfiltered dialogue with God. Through powerful anecdotes, he affirms that God hears and responds—not because our prayers are eloquent, but because they are honest. From parents grieving the loss of a child to individuals facing impossible decisions, Spahr reveals the sacredness in life’s hardest moments, where words often fail but God’s presence does not.

Spahr challenges the notion of prayer as formal and structured, showing instead how silence, tears, and even groans can be holy. With vulnerability and grace, he reminds us that God’s love is constant, even when the storms rage on.

This book is a compassionate companion for anyone wrestling with faith in times of suffering. It’s a call to embrace the mystery of God and the beauty of being fully human—messy prayers and all. Perfect for those searching for hope and authenticity in their spiritual journey, Spahr’s words assure readers: God is with us, even in the drowning.

George and the Magic Memory Pool (and other stories of God’s love and withness) is a poignant and deeply human collection of stories that explore God’s abiding presence in the messy, beautiful realities of life. Through raw honesty, vivid storytelling, and profound theological reflection, Brian Spahr invites readers to wrestle with the mystery of God’s love—a love that refuses to retreat in our pain, silence, or doubt. Whether sitting in grief, rejoicing in joy, or wandering through the everyday struggles of faith, this book reminds us that we are never alone. Spahr’s heartfelt words offer hope for anyone longing to feel seen, known, and free in a world too often marked by shame and disconnection.
