You Only Think God Is Silent: Hearing God in the Defining Moments of Our Lives

Julie Ann Allen has delivered a powerful message in her book "You only think God is silent." The inspirational messages that she interweaves in her stories carry such a strong message that you know that God is indeed there even if you think he isn't. Julie Ann's husband was killed in a work-related accident on her 38th birthday. Devastated by the human tragedy, she did find that God was listening to her even though she didn't hear His response. This book will help you in times of doubt and confusion. You can also use it as a source of devotional readings in small groups. I recommend reading this book if you think that God is not listening to your requests; He is. Your faith and hope will be re-strengthened in the assurance that God is watching over you.

This book is well written and insightful... everyone, Christian or not, should read this book! All of us will have burdens in this life- the Bible tells us this- so Julie Ann teaches us how to "be prepared". I especially like the chapter entitled, "Faith is like a car". We have to keep the car in top form so it will perform when we need it to. Our faith needs to be maintained in that way, too, not just when the crisis comes. As difficult as losing her husband must have been, Julie Ann has allowed God to work through her and be a shining light that exemplifies His glory. Well done!
