A Comprehensive Guide

The Silence Of God by Dr Gene Russell is a very personable exploration of the silences we experience of God. For us to perceive these silences, we have to believe that God is real.

Dr Gene Russell writes in a very relaxed style, enabling his book to be accessible to all. There are many personal accounts within the chapters. Everything Dr Gene Russell says is backed up with scripture.

“God’s silence does not mean indifference.” Even when God is silent, He is still working. God does not always speak in ways we expect. He will use people and circumstances to get our attention.

We learn about the names of God. He is a God of love in spite of the evil and suffering in the world. “The problem of evil is the problem of choice.” We have all been given free will. God cannot intervene or it would make Him a controller rather than a God of love. Wherever there is evil and sin, God grieves.
