Why Is God Silent When We Need Him the Most? A Journey of Faith into the Articulate Silence of God by James Long is a thought-provoking exploration of faith, silence, and our relationship with God. In this book, Long grapples with the apparent silence of God during challenging times and seeks to understand why God sometimes seems distant or absent.
The author acknowledges that God has spoken through His Son, the prophets, and even creation. However, there are moments when modern disciples find themselves without answers, wondering why God remains silent. Long affirms that God is still present, even in His articulate silence. He encourages readers to adjust their receptivity to God’s messages and discover faith and blessings amidst life’s harsh realities.
Comparing life’s harsh realities with unexpected blessings, Long takes readers on a journey toward enlightenment and acceptance. Through daily frustrations and overriding faith, he leads us to a place deep within ourselves—a place where we learn to embrace what we cannot explain and learn to speak and listen to God.
