Synopses & Reviews
The North Face of God addresses those times of adversity when God seems to have abandoned us. Sometimes, when the cold winds of life blow and we cry out to God, he's silent, and we wonder if he still cares about us-or ever cared. Drawing on the Psalms, Ken Gire climbs the mountainous terrain of God's seeming indifference and helps us learn how to hold on to hope, despite our circumstances. He also calls us to become good climbing partners for other people who need help and encouragement along the way. Ken Gire is the master of-perhaps the next C. S. Lewis of-writing about our intimate relationship with God.
