About this listen
What if faith wasn’t about getting answers—but about finding Him in the silence?
When young pastor George MacDonald dares to ask questions about the nature of scripture and the living Word, his quiet inquiry sparks outrage from religious authorities. But when tragedy strikes and his five-year-old son suffers a life-threatening injury, George is thrust into a deeper anguish—one that no verse or sermon can soothe.
As the boy’s condition worsens, George is condemned by fellow believers who claim the suffering is God’s punishment for his doubts. Alone in grief, stripped of certainty, George must wrestle with the silence of heaven and the cruelty of men. In the end, he finds no miracle—only Presence.
Inspired by the teachings of George MacDonald and his sermon The Higher Faith, this fictional parable explores the kind of trust that survives loss, the questions that lead to deeper truth, and the God who meets us not with answers—but with Himself.
Presence in Anguish is the third installment in The Unspoken Stories—a series of literary parables inspired by the spiritual writings of George MacDonald.
