Listening For God
A Ministers Journey Through Silence And Doubt
by Renita J. Weems
Description:
Throughout the past two decades, Renita J. Weems has been noted and
praised for her writing, galvanizing national speaking, and pioneering
scholarship in the field of Old Testament studies. Yet in the midst of
her celebrated work, she was experiencing a profound spiritual crisis
permeated by a hollow, painful silence that seemed, at times, to mark
an irreparable rupture in her communication with God.
In this deeply affecting book, Weems addresses the believer's yearning
for God through periods of inconstancy, vacillation, and
disenchantment. Her own spiritual disquietude will be familiar to all
who struggle to maintain faith while the details of daily life --
negotiating with children and spouses, caring for ailing parents,
living up to professional expectations, developing hobbies, managing
finances, and planning for the future -- compete for energy with one's
relationship with God. In sharing her own strategies for redefining
mundane rituals so that they contribute to reverence and devotion,
Weems offers a beacon of light for all believers struggling to listen
for God amidst the din of worldly demands and distractions.
