I do not know about you, but I have never been more excited about starting and completing a book. With that being said, this book is unlike any other of Heather's published work. This book evolves taking a deep look at why God allows us to go through these seasons and how we are to respond to them.
I suggest reading this book if you are currently in this season or have been through this season. It will give you so much insight in how to trust God through it all. I do not suggest trying to get through this book in a day unless you can retain the information. Read this book during your quiet time and take notes in or in a notebook.

This is my first book to read from Heather Lindsey and I must say it was simply written, point on and you could actually hear her voice telling you all this and at the same time have a conviction from the Holy Spirit about your life. This books helps believers not sweat the small stuff but to stay focused on the cross and cast all cares to Christ, It has put a lot of things in perspective and brought me closer to Christ. It's a quick read and God will truly speak to you as you read it.
Silent Seasons are bound to happen to all believers and we must not curse God but stay focused on him and have faith that he will lead us to Victory, It is hard and sometimes the season seem not to get over and cuts so deep but we must not grow weary in doing good. This Book truly is whats its all about. I pray that it lights you up, give you hope as you get to hear from God and never miss spending time at his feet as he always awaits you. I would recommend it any day. Stay Blessed!!!

Awesome Word!!! Couldn't put it down!!
Wow..this book is amazing! Everything I needed to hear from God in this season! I felt so empty and now I know that I need to just trust in the Lord and go deeper in this silent season! These words were truly a blessing and this is my favorite of all of Heather's books! Thanking God for you Sis, and grateful for your obedience to minister this Word to our hearts. ❤️

Silent seasons review
Book had a very nice theme and spoke to my situation. There were several grammatical errors and some paragraphs repeated them selves. I know she has her own publishing company but this could have been edited a bit more. Also I love her YouTube channel and have watched almost all of her videos so a lot of the info seemed like repeats of things she said on YouTube.

What a blessing!
I bought this book before I felt like I was in a silent season. Something just told me I needed it. Almost a year later. God prompted me to read this book and I always only read a few chapters at a time and then put the book down for months. Every time God prompted me to pick it back up, the chapter spoke directly to what was happening in my life, every single time. God is good!

Must Read
This book encourages you to be still in the Lord. If anyone is going through a time where they don’t even know what to pray, where they feel lost, where they have so many unanswered questions, then this book is for you. This truly helped me focus on my God instead of the pain.

This is a timely message and I'm grateful Heather was obedient to the call and wrote it. It is a message many need to hear.
Get this book. The message is clear and simple and very useful for this time and place.
A proofreader would be helpful for a few grammatical issues but otherwise, it is a quick read and carries the message very well across.
Get It!

I read this book back in early 2020’s, I will be rereading to give a more accurate review. From what I remember this book encourages you to listen to God & dwell in his silence. I read this in a time I felt stuck so it greatly resonated with me on being patient/waiting on Gods Yes/direction. And what to do/how to navigate those silent seasons where you feel Gods being silent in your life.

The Holy Spirit used Heather to minister to people through this book. This book has been a word of encouragement and guidance to me , while also directing me to scripture during this current season of my life. This book has been a blessing and I recommend it to anyone else who is going through a 'silent season' and needs some encouragement like I did.

Right on time
I appreciate Heather and her style. She speaks from experience and also from and for our generation. We all experience Silent Seasons but having these words gave me a breath of life when I needed it most.

So much wisdom!
It is so nice to read a testimony and about all the tests. It’s easy to feel alone in hard times and this book is so great in reminding us that ALL we need is Jesus. Such an inspiring, wisdom-filled book!

A Blessing
This book was just that, a blessing. I've been struggling in my own silent season and needed the encouragement, the reality check, and reminder to trust in God with my own journey.

Spoke right to my situation!
I loved this book! Heather dives into the many different situations she faced that I can relate to. It’s encouraging to see where she has come from to where she is now and helps strengthen my faith in the Lord. I believe God can do the same for me! I recommend this book to anyone struggling with test and trials and are ready to give up or feel like God has forgot about them.
