God on Mute: Engaging the Silence of Unanswered Prayer

Book overview An honest, soul-searching pursuit of biblical answers to one of Christianity's most challenging questions: What do you do when God meets your prayers with silence? 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 (from Maundy Thursday through Easter Sunday) as a template, Greig explores four main questions about prayer from all angles:How am I going to get through this?Why aren't my prayers being answered?Where is God when he seems silent?When every prayer is answered...what does that mean?
