Summary

What do you do when God is silent? Writing out of the pain of his wife's fight for life, but also the wonder of watching the prayer movement they founded touch many lives, Pete Greig wrestles with the dark side of prayer and emerges with a hard-won message of hope, comfort, and profound biblical insight for all who suffer in silence.

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 Sammy's fight for her life and diagnosis of a debilitating brain tumor. 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. The world collapses. Then all goes quiet. Words can't explain, don't fit, won't work. People avoid you and don't know what to say. So you turn to him and you pray. You need him more than ever before. But somehow...even God himself seems on mute. 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.

When God seems silent...

Having lived with an incurable but thankfully slow growing cancer for several years now, I know intimately the reality of not yet answered prayer. God on mute as a book has helped me to process the grief and anger that I have experienced and helped me to deepen my walk with God. My faith is more grounded in reality than ever and the hope I have is expressed beautifully by Pete in this audio book.

Listening to Pete read his own words on the subject adds another layer to his work, his authentic and painful walk with the God he loves comes alive in this testimony to what it really means to live by faith.

Straight from the heart and is beautifully told

The best book I have ever read (heard) which deals with the subject of suffering and seemingly unanswered prayers. A must read.

God speaking in the silence

This book touches the heart, mind and soul. Pete Greig has grappled with a big question for many Christians. The answer his journey has found may help our pilgrim's progress too. May we have the same faith that God loves us and is with us even in the silence.
