You Are Not Forgotten: Discovering the God Who Sees the Overlooked and Disregarded
Oftentimes, when we are in this place, we turn toward God with soul-wrenching questions: Where are you, God? Have you forgotten me? Are you paying attention to what is happening to me? Can I trust that you will act on my behalf? If you've asked these questions, you are not alone. Author and Bible teacher Christine Hoover has asked these questions too, and she's found that none of us are the first to feel overlooked or forgotten--and yet God has always been a "God Who Sees." In fact, it was a woman named Hagar in the Bible, alone in her desperate wilderness, who first spoke this particular name for God. Her story along with others in Scripture reveal that God not only looks upon us when others disregard us, He looks after us. If you feel disregarded or forgotten, take heart, for your God is One who always remembers His people and acts on behalf of them--and that includes you! He hears your cries, gently shepherds and heals your wounds of disregard, grants you refuge to ask questions, emboldens you with courage to forgive, calls you out of hiding for fear of disapproval, and even gives you eyes to see others in the compassionate way He sees you. No matter who in this world may look right past you, know this: You are not forgotten. Your God is the God Who Sees, and He not only looks upon you but looks after you-always. He is the God who sees....you.
Endorsements (${ productEndorsements.length })
“Christine's beautiful new book, You are Not Forgotten, brought me to tears. As she shared her personal story of being wronged, I felt my own pangs of pain and seasons of feeling unseen bubble up. Rather than offering potentially pat Christian answers, Christine continually points to the compassion and comfort of Christ, as seen through the lives of people in the Bible, people who have wronged and been wronged, people like Hagar and Sarah who had seasons of suffering, seasons of waiting in the wilderness, feeling misunderstood or overlooked. Christine highlights their encounters with 'the God who sees,' and points us to our compassionate, emotional, empathetic Jesus. I've already insisted that my husband read this book, and am grateful for a resource I've dog-eared for myself that I can share with friends and loved ones when they are suffering.”

“You are Not Forgotten took me through His Word and the hidden places of my heart. Christine Hoover gently and prudently offered me new perspective on the God who sees me and new ways to relate to my heart that questions that. What a needed book for our times!”
Sara Hargery
author of The Gift of Limitations and Unseen
“This book is a gift to those of us who have felt forgotten and unseen, who wonder if anyone knows or cares about our struggles. In You Are Not Forgotten, you’ll find comfort in the God who sees, who was with Hagar and will be with us when we feel alone and rejected. Christine vulnerably shares her story of woundedness in the church, and how God transformed that pain to strengthen her faith, her ministry, and her relationship with the Lord.”
