Forty days of solitary confinement can drive a person mad. In fact, only a few days without interaction with another human can trigger depression or an existential crisis. On the other hand, time spent in silence with a close friend can heal madness. We are designed to be in fellowship with our Maker. So, what happened to break that relationship? To ask it another way, why do we sometimes hear nothing but silence from God? Is it silent love? Is it the cold silence of indifference, or of disapproval, or of anger? Are we just not listening? Are we not asking? Are we asking with wrong motives? Is God simply saying no to our prayer? Are we supposed to be feeling something more? The encouraging news is that saints through the centuries have also struggled with the deep silence of God. So, we are not alone in our aloneness, you and I. For reasons known only to Himself, God chooses not to speak to each individual today in an audible, easy-to-hear voice.

This is an open and honest account of the author's personal struggle to understand the silence of God, presented as a forty-day journey through the desert. Readers embark on a journey to understand, accept, and trust a God who, truthfully, is always pursuing us. Combines an exploration of Middle Eastern geography, plus insights into several biblical characters, and weaves them into the personal journal of a man on a quest to rediscover his personal relationship with God. Recommended for any who have walked times when God seems distant and silent. Even while wandering in the desert, works of art in the form of a poem with music serve as a kind of oasis in the middle of a dry and weary land where there is no water. In the end, the experience is unique and refreshing, a helpful guide for any who struggle to separate faith from feelings. "sometimes silence is the highest expression of love. "
