There are moments in life when faith doesn't feel like light?it feels like fire. Moments when prayers turn into protests, and silence from heaven becomes deafening. WHY O LORD ?! Seeing Through a Glass Darkly was born from such moments.
This book is a raw, vulnerable journey into the heart of a soul wrestling with God. Presented as intimate journal entries, it gives voice to a person standing at the crossroads of faith and frustration?angry with heaven, burdened by suffering, and desperate to understand.
Why do tragedies strike without warning? Why does God seem silent in our darkest moments? These reflections do not seek to sanitize the pain or offer easy answers. Instead, they embrace the sacred tension between trust and doubt, offering space for lament, honesty, and unfiltered questioning.
Yet this is not a journey taken alone. Through the haze of grief and confusion, ancient stories begin to speak?stories of men and women who, like us, could not see the whole picture. Joseph in prison. Job on the ash heap. David on the run. Even Jesus, sweating blood in Gethsemane. Through their lives, a quiet truth emerges: God's hand often moves in the silence, shaping a purpose far beyond what the present reveals.
With each entry, the book draws the reader deeper into the mystery of divine providence?the unseen threads woven through chaos and loss. It reminds us that not seeing clearly is not the same as being forsaken. That God's silence is not God's absence.
This book is not a solution?it's a companion. For the soul crying WHY O LORD ?! it offers not certainty, but solidarity. Not answers, but echoes. Not light without shadow, but the courage to keep looking through the glass... even when it's dark.
It is a cry, a confession, and ultimately, a quiet invitation: to keep walking, keep questioning, and dare to believe there may be beauty?still unseen?on the other side of the storm.
