I first read this book some years ago while I was trying to come to grips with the suicide of my son. This book was very helpful to me in facing this tragic event. Although the book is out of print, it is well worth your while to chase down a copy particularly if you are dealing with the loss of a loved one. Ron Dunn discusses in an honest and open manner the emotions and pain of dealing with situations in which God doesn't answer prayers as we expected. It was a great encouragement to me to realize that I was not alone in some of the struggles with God that I went through. I have never forgotten Ron's admonition to not ask "Why?", but instead ask "What Now?".

Not only is this book helpful for those dealing with the death of a loved one, but also for those who don't understand the "answer" they receive and most often, disagree with. No matter what struggle you are going through, When Heaven Is Silent puts your mind and heart in a place where you can deal with the answer.

This book really helped me through some difficult times when it seems my prayers were going unanswered. Highly recommend it!
