Is God listening to me? Can He be trusted? Does He even exist? How many times have you asked yourself these same questions? How many times has God disappointed you or someone close to you?Philips Yancy tackles the crises of faith caused by a God who doesn't always do what he's supposed to do. Working from real life situations, Yancy searches for the answers to questions that have been stirring inside him since a friend, Richard, suffered a loss of faith: Why is God inconsistent? Why doesn't God guide more clearly? Why is God silent?Yancy finds the answers in a number of places, but he continues to return to Scripture over and over again. As he develops his thoughtful analysis of the travails of Job, the pieces finally fall into place.Disappointment with God offers a large measure of comfort to those who have suffered loss. It also advances a carefully reasoned explanation of why God allows such losses to occur in the first place.Yancy points out that even God's own Son suffered the pain of doubt and abandonment. "On that dark night, God learned for Himself, the worst of what it feels like to be a human being."God still speaks to us through the Spirit--"a most intimate Voice." He speaks in a whisper and sometimes the whisper is so soft, it is taken for silence.Philips Yancy has taken a giant step forward in the long journey toward understanding how God deals with us--sometimes in ways mysterious.
