When you come to the place where nothing matters, nothing but hearing from God, and God seems strangely absent, distant and silent - where do you go and what do you do? The presence of God is difficult to define but His absence is easy, very easy to detect. Where are the wise men? Where are the sasges? Who is sufficient for the agonizing absence of God? Scholars, sages, philosophers, even Jeremiah, the weeping prophet, and David, the sweet psalmist, mourned the horrid absence of God. Through their pens, their poetry and their pulpits we learn of the dismal dark night of the soul, the cold winder of faith, the dry desert journey - and other metaphors, images, symbols and motif's that describe the agonizing absence of God. Powerfully-Written An excellent gift for a friend or family member who is struggling with matters of faith.
