About this audiobook

When Heaven Is Silent is a Messianic Jewish exploration of one of the most searching questions in the life of faith: why does God sometimes seem not to answer prayer? Drawing on the Hebrew Scriptures, the Brit Chadashah, and the living tradition of Messianic Jewish thought, Daniel Schwartz examines three kinds of divine response — the swift yes, the patient not yet, and the sovereign no — while honestly confronting the ways we can hinder our own prayers through unconfessed sin, wrong motives, unforgiveness, and doubt.
