LONDON, March 24, 2026 /Standard Newswire/ — During the pandemic, eight-year-old Emma told her mother, “I think God moved, and nobody told the grown-ups where He went.” Her words echo what many Christians have been feeling but rarely naming: a sense of distance from God, even while remaining committed to faith.
Released during the Lent season, When Faith Feels Far: A Guide for the Weary, the Burned-Out, and Anyone Who’s Given Up on Faith offers a compassionate, practical resource for believers who still believe in God but feel spiritually depleted.
Across denominations, pastors report rising levels of exhaustion, discouragement, and quiet doubt among congregants. Many Christians say they want a deeper relationship with God but feel too tired or overwhelmed to sustain traditional spiritual practices.
“People aren’t necessarily walking away from God,” says author Stanley Glancy. “They’re trying to figure out how to stay with God when their lives feel uncertain and fragile. Lent and Easter remind us that new life often begins in places that feel like endings.”
Drawing on more than a decade of conversations with believers across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, Glancy introduces composite characters whose stories reflect the pressures many Christians face today:
• Marcus, a faithful elder stretched thin by endless responsibilities.
• Sarah, a single mother giving generously while barely making ends meet.
• Elena, praying beside her daughter’s hospital bed with nothing left but honesty.
The book offers practical tools for weary believers, including guidance on how to pray when words won’t come, permission to rest without guilt, and wisdom for integrating faith with professional mental health care.
When Faith Feels Far is available now in paperback and eBook formats through Amazon and major retailers worldwide.
