My Silent Song


In this first-person account of healing, a Christian worship leader offers this book as her psalm of praise to God who patiently walked with her through a season of silence. Having suddenly lost her voice for eight months, Jennifer Neyer scrambles to find meaning in her random illness. Throughout, Jen’s faith deepens while she clings to God’s promises of faithfulness; His words do not come back empty-handed (Isaiah 55). Over time, silence becomes its own kind of melody, like a song from God composed on the faithful one’s behalf. Practicing the presence of God, Jen comes to acknowledge, wholeheartedly, God’s moment by moment capacity to H E A R her and to love her well. This book chronicles her growing pains as this happily married mother of four young kids relearns how to fulfill her roles both at home and in church. Jennifer finds peace not merely in her eventual healing. She develops trust, most of all, in the Healer, Jesus Christ.
