When God Seems Gone: Finding Hope in Suffering, Doubts, and Silence from God by Adam Mabry (Paperback)

Discover how to hold on to faith, keep trusting, and rediscover joy even when God seems silent, distant, or absent.

In When God Seems Gone, Adam Mabry delves into the raw experiences of deep suffering, unanswered prayers, and the silence of God. Drawing on the stories of biblical figures such as Habakkuk, Job, David, and even Jesus, Mabry examines the art of lament—how to cry out to God from a place of desperation while still holding on to faith and hope.

This Christian guide offers practical advice for navigating difficult times and dark seasons, exploring the following key themes:

• Dealing with God's Silence: Learn how to process unanswered prayers and the sense of abandonment that sometimes accompanies suffering.
• Finding Hope in Lament: Discover how biblical lament can be a pathway to rediscovering faith and trust in God, even when nothing makes sense.
• Embracing Honest Doubt: Understand that it’s okay to wrestle with hard questions and emotions in the presence of God.
• Rediscovering Joy: Explore ways to find joy and peace, even in the midst of confusion and unanswered prayers.

This book is a valuable resource for:

• Those experiencing personal suffering, doubt, or deconstruction of their faith.
• Friends and family members walking alongside loved ones in difficult seasons.
• Pastors, counselors, and ministry leaders looking to guide others through pain and uncertainty.
• Anyone seeking to understand God's purpose and goodness during life's most challenging moments.

Mabry encourages readers to keep trusting God through silence, slowness, or suffering, knowing that even in times of darkness, God’s sovereign purpose remains.
