When Faith Feels Far

Finding Hope When God Feels Silent

What do you do when you still believe in God, but faith feels like work instead of relationship?

This book is for the exhausted volunteer, the parent too tired to pray, the believer who can't remember when God last felt close.

Drawing on conversations with believers across continents - from church parking lots to kitchen tables, from burnout to breathing room - Stanley Glancy follows people who hit the wall and found a way through. Not through dramatic breakthroughs but through small, honest steps.

Five-minute prayers when words won't come. Boundaries without guilt. Wonder in ordinary moments. Questions without shame. Faith that can sit alongside therapy and medication. Permission to stop performing.

This isn't a try-harder book. It's a begin-again book.

After a decade of listening to believers who've been exactly where you are, Glancy offers what many never hear: permission to rest, ways to pray when you feel nothing, and the quiet assurance that faith fatigue isn't failure.

Whether you're burned out by church or quietly wondering if God still sees you, here's where you can begin again. Gently. Honestly. At your own pace.
