An honest, soul-searching pursuit of biblical answers to one of Christianity's most challenging questions. Many of us have struggled with prayers that seem to go unanswered, and Pete Greig has been down that difficult road of doubt. This book is both intensely personal and deeply theological—a book born out of his wife Sammy's fight for her life after a horrifying diagnosis. The acclaimed author of Red Moon Rising wrestles with the hard side of prayer, how to respond when there seem to be no answers, and how to cope with those who seek to interpret our experience for us. For those struggling with prayer, God on Mute brings a message of hope and comfort, but also a better understanding of how we communicate with our Creator. Using the timeline of Holy Week as a template, Greig explores four main questions about prayer. Silence in response to our most heartfelt prayers is one of the hardest things for a person of faith to face. The world collapses. Then all goes quiet. Words can't explain what we're going through. People avoid you and don't know what to say. You turn to Him and you pray. You need Him more than ever before. But even God Himself seems on mute. And this sinks into us with a sense of futility. But even in this crushing silence, there is a way forward. Here is a story of faith, hope, and love beyond all understanding.
