Description: Suffering, failure, sin, illness, loneliness, disappointment. They all come in a seemingly endless variety of shapes and sizes. At times there seems to be no way to turn, either backwards or forewards; there is no light at either end of the tunnel. For many people such experiences raise the question; Why has this happened to me? Has God abandoned me? Can nobody help? Is despair all that is left to me?

Large numbers of people today share such experiences and privately ask these very questions. But there is an answer. In fact there is a whole series of answers. Deserted by God? begins with the question "Can Anyone Help Me?" and draws on the experience of the psalmist in the Old Testament to help us begin to understand the ways of God. It shows how other have walked the same pathway before us. They provide us with wisdom which will lead us to the conviction of the closing chapter that we are 'Never Deserted'....

Ferguson is a theologian with great pastoral wisdom, i.e. a theologian of the affections. This book, is a series of studies in Psalms 13, 23, 42, 51, 73, 102, 119 and 131. It is intended to minister to those who feel that God has deserted them and are currently undergoing suffering. It is an extremely well written book for pastors or for anyone looking for the the shalom God grants His people.
