He Speaks in the Silence: Finding Intimacy with God by Learning to Listen

In He Speaks in the Silence, author and speaker Diane Comer shares an extraordinary and profoundly moving memoir about discovering intimate communion with God through sudden, irreversible physical hearing loss. Diagnosed with an incurable degenerative condition that gradually plunged her into total silence as a young mother of four, Comer wrestled with grief, isolation, and spiritual crisis. Yet in the profound absence of audible sound, she learned the ancient, contemplative discipline of tuning her heart to God's quiet, persistent voice. Through honest storytelling and deep biblical reflection, Comer teaches readers that divine intimacy does not require dramatic sensory manifestations, but an intentional posture of spiritual attentiveness, quiet surrender, and dependent prayer. This comforting and spiritually convicting volume inspires believers experiencing physical trials, divine silence, or life transitions to quiet their souls, tune out cultural noise, and encounter the tender, comforting heart of their Heavenly Father.
