When God Is Silent: Finding Spiritual Peace Amid the Storms of Life [Paperback]

Description: When God Is Silent shows you how to trust God even when He seems unresponsive and remote -- even when, as in the famous incident in the Gospels, He seems to sleep while you are buffeted by the storms of life. Author Luis Martinez quotes that beautiful line from the Song of Songs -- "I sleep, but my heart is awake" -- and confirms that with Jesus this is indeed the case: His love for you never sleeps, no matter what. Martinez shows how you can make better sense of your life once you realize that God has actually been closest to you when He seemed farthest away; and once you learn why He often speaks to you only in silence. Best of all, Martinez teaches you the secret of true happiness, which you can achieve even amid the troubles that are inescapable elements of every human life. With sober realism and simple faith, this book will show you how to discover -- and then to take refuge in -- the comfort our Lord offers you, even when He seems to sleep. Learn to get through the times when God seems distant, as you discover: Silence: why it's essential for all real growth in the spiritual lifeWhy Jesus must seem to sleep in order to refine your love and purify your soulJesus' thirty "hidden years" the important lessons they hold for your life todayWhy worry?
