Today, Mom Loves 2 Read is welcoming Dr. Kellie Lane, author of When God is Silent ~
MomBlogger: Dr. Lane, welcome to Mom Loves 2 Read. It is wonderful to have you with us today!
Dr. Lane: Thank you! It is a pleasure to be here.
MomBlogger: Dr. Lane, could you please tell our readers a little about your Push, Pray, Persist phrase?
Dr. Lane: I'd love to . . ."'Push, Pray, and Persist' is a phrase I coined
because this is exactly what is
required to receive the miracles of God. Life
is hard. The journey gets weary. There will be road blocks along the way. Yet
we can’t pull over to the side of the road, lift the hood, and say “that’s it,
I quit”. No this is when you push even the more. You have to believe that God
will repay you for your work in due season. Never stop praying, never stop
believing, and never ever give up. Yes things may seem impossible but
impossible is the perfect condition for God to release miracles in your life."
MomBlogger: Thank you so much for sharing with us! We would love to have you again sometime!
Dr. Lane: A pleasure to be here. "Be Blessed!"

Book Description:
"When God is
Silent” confirms through scripture that God indeed hears the cries
of
his elect and the broken hearted. The book explains to the reader
why he or she may be waiting on the answers to their prayers and how
to endure in a season of silence. It also reveals how to recognize
"God's answer" if he chooses to answer differently than
what we anticipate. The take home message is “ Never Give up! Even
if God is not talking he’s still listening”. We must learn to
“push, pray, and persist” until we reach the point of
breakthrough. God desires to give only the best to his children. We
must understand this.
Excerpt:
Introduction
I know now, Lord, why you utter no
answer. You yourself are the answer.
—C. S. Lewis
If you’re reading this book, more
than likely you are in what is called a pressed place; a place of
waiting. Does it seem as if God has forgotten about you? Has everyone
else around you begun to celebrate their miracles, yet you are still
crying yourself to sleep at night? Are you feeling a
sense of weariness and emptiness? Have
you been praying and crying out to God day in and out and still you
see no change? Have you found yourself wondering if God has gone on
vacation? Have you been contemplating that perhaps what you are
believing God for is not in His will? Well if this describes you,
congratulations! You are next in line for a miracle. I decree and
declare defeat is not your portion; victory is your portion. Receive
it, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
What the enemy wants us to believe is
that God will never answer our prayers. The kingdom of darkness works
overtime as we get closer to our breakthroughs. Satan and
His generals know that if he can get us
to lose our focus, we will not be in position when the fullness of
time comes and we will miss the blessing. We must know without a
doubt that God is faithful and never fails. We must be certain that
even if God is not talking, He’s still listening.
For it is written:
But verily God hath heard me; he hath
attended to the voice of my prayer.
—Psalm 66:19
Review:
Although I have read a lot of inspirational non-fiction, biblical studies, parenting books and marriage help books written from the Biblical perspecitve, I never cease to find something new in another great book from another author's point of view.
I often find myself saying "yep, that is SO me!" or something like "I can totally relate" or even "it may not be exactly like what I feel but it sure is similar" or "I know someone who would enjoy reading this too"
I did find myself relating to some of the situations in this book, but I also found it a bit harder to read than I expected. There were times, especially at the beginning that I just didn't get into the flow of the book.
Overall I did like most of what author Kellie Lane has to say in "When God is Silent" and she really does have some great points to make, but some of it was not quite what I would agree with personally.
I leave it to you to decide - as this is only my personal opinion and many opinions differ from mine.
