God Was Always Speaking, I Just Wasn't Listening is a work of Christian writing by author Ben Duelley, who shares his deeply personal journey through depression and anxiety into a life transformed by faith. Duelley outwardly seemed very successful in his position as a Naval officer with many accolades to his name, but privately, he battled mental health struggles and spiritual emptiness for years. We see the turning point where everything changes for him during a mission trip to El Salvador when a series of supernatural encounters and miraculous events reshaped his beliefs. Duelley reveals how he learned to hear God’s voice and find purpose beyond the pain, offering hope and spiritual insight to veterans like him and anyone seeking meaning.
Author Ben Duelley has a deeply personal writing style that is honest from the very first page, and it draws readers in. His candid depiction of mental health struggles offers a powerful message of hope and vulnerability to anyone who has ever been through difficult times and searched for solace. Whether you're religious or not, the work is about being open to how beliefs can change over time. That search for hope comes through in a relatable and inspiring way, particularly for veterans and those battling inner turmoil. I enjoyed Duelley's descriptions of his spiritual encounters very much. They were described with such vivid detail that it made me feel like I was part of the transformative journey right beside him. Overall, God Was Always Speaking, I Just Wasn't Listening is highly recommended for its unique blend of memoir and faith-driven guidance. It's sure to provide practical and emotional support for readers seeking spiritual renewal.
