Book Review: When Heaven Seems Silent by Mark and Tammy Andres
Book Review: When Heaven Seems Silent by Mark and Tammy Andres
I was nearing the end of this book and had been crying because of it. My husband walks in and says, “You’ve been crying, look at that whole bowl full of kleenex, you shouldn’t read books like that.” I said, “That’s the sign of a really good book!” So, yes, this was a really good book. In fact this was the most gut wrenchingly honest book I’ve ever read in my life.
Why do I say that? Because these authors are sharing their raw emotions and questions concerning God in the midst of their trials and not only the lessons that they’ve learned on the “other side” of things.
This book is all about handling disappointments in God, how to wait for answers, how to hang on to promises from God, how to deal with your emotions and how to be honest about them.
The entire book is one example after another of real life incidents, their real thoughts, their real emotions, their real prayers.
Included are quotes from other trusted well-known leaders and authors, such as Graham Cooke, Bob Sorge, Bill Johnson and John and Paula Sandford. These quotes helped clarify some of the lessons learned but the real meat and learning was straight from the authors’ own stories and experiences.
Reading this book was an experience for me. It helped me sort through some of my own disappointments in God and truly answered some questions that I had about unanswered prayers and about the process and timing of waiting for answers to come.
I highly recommend this book to any Christian who has ever dealt with disappointment and wants to know how to stay in faith while waiting for a promise to manifest itself. This book deals mostly with physical healing but everything could easily apply to any other area of life.
