Descripción editorial
We've all been there. Knowing on some deeper level that God is present no matter how things look, but still feeling the trickle of doubt. And wondering why the God whose faithfulness is never supposed to fail seems to be turning a giant deaf ear toward us. It's not always like this (thank goodness!), but silent seasons are common in the life of any honest Christian.
In Silent Savior, A. J. Gregory navigates that labyrinth of sorrow, pain, angst, and doubt on the way to a soul-deep recognition of God's infinite faithfulness and perpetual, if sometimes silent, presence. And she encourages readers to keep believing he's there even when that silence seems deafening.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Those who are discontent and hopeless, unsure of whether God is listening, will find ample reassurance from author andfreelance writer Gregory (Messy Faith). In each chapter of this book, she tackles reasons why Christians may feel as if God issilent in their lives. She then asks them to dig deep into their hearts and open their eyes to the everlasting presence of God. Those who can't hear God speaking to them may simply be too busy to listen; those who seek flashy miracles may be missing God's appearance in small wonders. While she readily admits she doesn'thave all the answers, Gregory's grounded sense of hope will inspire readers to keep believing. She wrote the book during her own emotional collapse and struggle with bulimia and depression. The 30-something author's juxtaposition of pop culture and teen-speak against old hymns and adult wisdom makes for a frenzied composition that reflects the author's own frustrationsand eclectic style. Young and mature audiences alike can surely benefit from her honest, youthful optimism.
