When God Feels Distant

By Kimani Upshur, M.Ed.

For teenagers ages 13-18 whose prayers feel unanswered and whose Bible reading feels dry, this book names the quiet that so many believers experience and refuses to rush past it. It shows how David, Elijah, and even Jesus on the cross knew that darkness, and teaches the book's central truth: feelings are not facts, and God feeling distant is not the same as God being distant. Readers are guided to sit with God in the dark and trust that the dawn always comes.
