Praise for Surviving the Silence
“With remarkable honesty, biblical depth, and pastoral compassion, he invites readers into the often-unseen realities of waiting, grief, unanswered prayer, and ultimately, hope.”
— Dr. Clifton J. Kenon Jr., DNP, RN, IBCLC, FAWHONN, FNYAM, FAAN
“Surviving the Silence is a theology of waiting for anyone, in the pew or behind the pulpit, who has ever prayed into the quiet and needed to know that God was still writing.”
— Rev. Dr. Michael L. Sessoms, D.Min.
Pastor, The Historic Little Union Baptist Church
“God’s silence does not mean God is absent. With true vulnerability, honesty, wisdom, and love, Dr. Cheeks challenges us to remain faithful even when we cannot see, hear, trace, or understand why God is silent.”
— Pastor Todd A. Brown
New Mount Zion Baptist Church, Orangeburg, SC
