Blackbird Singing in the Dead of Night: What to do When God Won't Answer

Gregory L. Hunt

4.9/5 (27567 ratings)

Description:When pastor Greg Hunt falls prey to a crisis of faith and calling, he sets out on an experiment in devotion and discovers that the journey is the destination in disguise. Dr. Greg Hunt had devoted nearly 30 years to congregational ministry, helping people experience God and find their way in life. Then came his crisis of faith and calling: He turns to God for guidance, but is unable to "find" God. Neither his education-a Ph.D. in theology-nor his religious involvements-senior pastor of a multi staff congregation, civically and denominationally engaged leader-could protect him against the disorienting impact of the experience. Days turned into months. Months became seasons. Seasons added up to a year, then two. He began to wonder if his faith had been delusional: Was God even real? In the midst of his struggle, he tries a sometimes desperate experiment of devotion: could he have a personal encounter with God through the redletters of Jesus, as recorded in the Gospel of Matthew? The outcome is startling, and changes his life entirely. Blackbird Singing in the Dead of Night is as much about the search for truth as it is finding it. -Julie Pennington-Russell, senior pastor, First Baptist Church, Decatur, Georgia TARGET AUDIENCE Readers who have struggled with God's elusiveness. REVIEWS If you have ever longed to hear God whispering a love song into your life, and whatever love language you prefer, you will hear it loudly and clearly in the pages of this compelling and honestly written book. -Gary Chapman, Ph.D., New York Times best-selling author, The Five Love Languages and The Love Languages of God I'm not sure which is more frightening for a clergy person, confronting a crisis of faith or telling the world about it Greg Hunt does so with a clarity and grace that takes you along on his pathway, draws you into his story, and illumines your own similar struggles. -Bo Prosser, Cooperative Baptist Fellowship In this most beautiful memoir, Greg Hunt invites us into an unsettling time in his life, exposes the fault lines of his faith, and describes the path he walked into and out of the dark. Thanks to the trail markers he leaves along the way, he makes it easier for us to find our way, too.-Susan M. Heim, co author, Chicken Soup for the Soul, Devotional Stories for Women If you've ever felt perplexed by God's silence, then you will find this book utterly fascinating.-George Mason, Ph.D., Pastor, Wilshire Baptist Church, Dallas, TX ABOUT THE AUTHOR Greg Hunt is a highly-regarded speaker, consultant, and writer.
