But somehow…even God Himself seems on mute. So you turn to Him and you pray. You need Him more than ever before. Pete Greig, the acclaimed author of Red Moon Rising, has written his most intensely personal and honest account yet in God on Mute, a book born out of his wife Samie’s fight for her life and diagnosis of a debilitating brain tumor. Then all goes quiet. People avoid you and don’t know what to say. In this heart-searching, honest and deeply profound book, Pete Greig looks at 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. Here is a story of faith, hope and love beyond all understanding. . Words can’t explain, don’t fit, won’t work. The world collapses. Greig asks the timeless questions of what it means to suffer and to pray and to suffer through the silence because your prayers seem unanswered. This silence, Greig relates, is the hardest thing

Ever wondered why your prayers seem to go unanswered? If so, then God on Mute is a must read. Pete Greig offers keen insight on the topic of unanswered prayer. Never minimizing the importance of the topic, he offers Scripture, stories, and personal experience to shed light on--never "explain"--those times when God seems the farthest from us. My book is yellow from all my highlighting.
