In this book, Gilded Cage, it hope to bring some measure of hope and encouragement to people who despair and feel trapped within the cage of circumstances beyond their control. we will also be examining the issue of the ‘mystery of unanswered prayers’. many devoted and devoured Christians have battled with such issues and have doubted God’s love for them. In this book, we will look at two stories in the bible that convey similar circumstances and make certain deductions from them. you would also read in the last chapter- the epilogue- true-life reflections of contemporary people on the subject of this book.
