Disappointment & Unanswered Prayer

Our Recommendations

10 titles

This is a season we often find difficult to comprehend - perhaps we're not always supposed to - but here's our Top 3 which will bring understanding and encouragement when God seems silent. Firstly, Dealing with Disappointment helps us accept God's answers when we had other plans. If you're going through this season, there a few better guides than the Psalmists who wrote about this theme and how we learn about God and cling to him through this experience. Sinclair Ferguson's Deserted By God? is truly helpful here. And finally, Nancy Guthrie's God Does His Best Work with Empty shows how, far from being distant and uninterested, God is often doing more with our hearts in seasons of disappointment.
