Endorsement:
“Joseph Symonds’s The Case and Cure of a Deserted Soul is medicine for the soul. With great care and pastoral sensitivity, Symonds explores reasons why someone may be experiencing an overwhelming and unrelenting sense of God’s absence. He guides readers to a place of peace and repose to a quieted and comforted conscience. There are several good books on this subject, but few are as thorough or as theologically sound as Symonds’s.”
— Randall J. Pederson, Bible teacher, Zion Christian School; managing editor, Westminster Theological Journal; and co-author of Meet the Puritans
