About this listen

An honest, soul-searching pursuit of biblical answers to one of Christianity's most challenging questions: What do you do when God meets your prayers with silence?

Many of us have struggled with prayers that seem to go unanswered, and Pete Greig has been down that difficult road of doubt. This book is both intensely personal and deeply theological - a book born out of his wife Sammy's fight for her life after a horrifying diagnosis.

The acclaimed author of Red Moon Rising wrestles with the hard side of prayer, how to respond when there seem to be no answers, and how to cope with those who seek to interpret our experience for us.

For those struggling with prayer, God on Mute brings a message of hope and comfort, but also a better understanding of how we communicate with our Creator. Using the timeline of Holy Week (from Maundy Thursday through Easter Sunday) as a template, Greig explores four main questions about prayer from all angles:

  • How am I going to get through this?
  • Why aren't my prayers being answered?
  • Where is God when he seems silent?
  • When every prayer is answered...what does that mean?

Silence in response to our most heart-felt prayers is the hardest thing for a person of faith to wrestle with. The world collapses. Then all goes quiet. Words can't explain what we're going through. People avoid you and don't know what to say. So you turn to Him and you pray. You need Him more than ever before. But somehow even God Himself seems on mute. And this sinks into us with a sense of futility....

But even in this crushing silence, there is a way forward. Here is a story of faith, hope, and love beyond all understanding.

I love this book! It helped me so much. There have been times in my life when I knew God heard and answered my prayers. But, there was one prayer that I literally prayed for years believing not only that God heard me but I also believed he would answer the prayer in the way I had asked. He didn’t and I stopped praying. This book taught me so much. It was not another “preachy” kind of book. Well written. Soothing. I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking to understand what can seem like silence.

Helped me so much!

The problem of suffering & unanswered prayer is a reality that must be confronted, and Pete Greig does it beautifully. This book is incredibly honest, heartbreakingly authentic, and deeply rooted in Scripture. I’ve never written a review of anything, but would write a thousand for this book if I could. In addition to being a master storyteller, Pete is also an extremely talented narrator. I am deeply convinced this book will remain one of the most important I will read in my lifetime.

One of the most important books you will ever read.

God did not intend for our world to be full of suffering and pain. He wanted a safe place for he and us to enjoy each other. When sin entered the world through the temptation of Satan, we as curious humans granted the gift of free will all started to fall apart. God's love for us has never changed. He loves us enough to allow us to choose him or not. This book does a great job helping explain why when we call out for God, his presence seems distant even though he is right there. Satan tempted Job, he tempted Adam and Eve he has tempted you and me. He is powerless but his lies make us feel like he is in control. Satan has won over my spirit more than once even though my soul longs for God. The troubles of this world are like a magnet at times pulling me apart. I am thankful that the Author ignored the advice of Christian leaders and published this book. Although it has been out for over 20 years, I am just now in 2022 reading it for the first time. I love that the Author himself chose to read the audiobook so I could feel what he is feeling as he emotionally shares his story. This book unlocks so much for me about life. It has such great wisdom, I know each time I listen to it, I will hear something new.

Excellent book that doesn’t gloss over the difficulty of unanswered prayer. The fear and raw emotion of watching a loved one suffer can wreak havoc with our faith even when we have rooted our hearts in Christ and our faithful God. Here is an humble and compassionate grappling with the question that everyone must face at some point in life. I highly recommend it.

Excellent treatment of a difficult subject.
