You've cried out to God - but He seems silent. Maybe you're wondering, "Does God even see me?"

You're not the only one who has asked that question, and you don't have to face it alone. Toni Nieuwhof brings together 24 trusted voices - including Mark Batterson, Ann Voskamp, John Ortberg, Tara-Leigh Cobble, Jennie Lusko, Ashlee Eiland, and others - who share honest stories from seasons that didn't make sense and the hard-won faith they carried forward.

A book with a larger mission

All of Honest to God's profits fund young adult education in under-resourced communities through Compassion International and Convoy of Hope.

“Fresh, honest, urgent, I loved the stories in this book. I hope this is the first of many volumes to come!”

— Jon Acuff, New York Times Bestselling author of Procrastination Proof: Never Get Stuck Again.

“If you have ever wanted to sit in a small circle around a fire, surrounded on your left and right by kind and honest voices who will talk to you tenderly about the hand of God and the heart of man, then this is the book for you.”

—Bob Goff, Sweet Maria’s husband and New York Times bestselling author.

"The narratives in this book are raw, real, soft, hard, and practical. Is there anyone out there who doesn’t need to read this?"

Lean in and discover trust even when God feels distant

When silence from God leaves you confused, it's easy to grow jaded or drift from a faith that once felt solid. You need voices around you — people who've lived it. Honest to God gathers them, inspired by Moses' relentless pursuit of God in Exodus 33.
