Faithful But Far: The Son Who Forgot He Is a Son

By Dramane Traore

Faithful But Far by Dramane Traore is a piercing and compassionate unveiling of a spiritual condition often hidden beneath religious devotion-the tragedy of proximity without intimacy. With prophetic insight and deep spiritual sensitivity, Traore explores how many believers remain dutiful, active, and visibly loyal to the things of God, yet inwardly disconnected from the heartbeat of the Father. This is a book for those who are close to the altar but far from the flame.

Traore exposes the subtle drift that can happen even in the most committed lives: a drift from presence to performance, from communion to routine, from being known to simply being useful. He shows how the soul can remain faithful in activity yet grow distant in affection. Drawing from biblical patterns, including the elder brother, Martha, and the Laodicean church, he reveals how God is not merely seeking service-He is seeking sons who dwell.

Faithful But Far is not a condemnation-it is a call. A call to return, to rediscover the sweetness of intimacy, the rest of union, and the joy of being with God, not just working for Him. Traore invites every weary servant, every distracted son, every distant heart to draw near again-not with effort, but with surrender. God's desire has never changed: He wants to be with His own.

This book is both a mirror and a doorway. It reflects where we have drifted and opens the path back to closeness. You can be faithful and still be far. But you don't have to stay there. Come home-not just with your feet, but with your heart.
