    Job, Joseph, and Daniel were faithful men who faced silence from God in their hardest times. Job lost everything, Joseph was forgotten, and Daniel was exiled and thrown into a lions’ den. Even when God seemed absent, their stories remind us that His silence never means His absence.

The Story of Dietrich Bonhoeffer Dietrich ...read more
