Customer Reviews

full of insight , full of hope

Joseph Bentz is one of my favorite authors, and this is one of his very best books. It's true: God sometimes seems silent, and distant, and preoccupied, and slow-to-respond. In this book, as always, Bentz is unfailingly honest. But instead of whining and complaining, he helps all of us to wrestle with God's silence by putting it into its biblical context, expanding our understanding of the whys and hows, and showing us what we can do while we wait and listen. Make no mistake: even though the topic is daunting, this book is surprisingly cheerful. The clear writing, fitting examples, practical helps, and great stories make this book a joy from cover to cover. And it will lead to breakthroughs. Recommended for anyone who ever worried about hearing the voice of God.

Not just answers but also the tools for hearing from God

Silence is a difficult concept for us to understand, especially when we really need to hear from God. Silent God teaches us to listen through the silence when God seems so far away- a concept I also explore in my book Direction: Discernment for the Decisions of Your Life. In his book, Bentz has not only given us answers to the question of God's silences, but also tools for hearing God in the midst of the noise of everyday life.
