This book is risky. Challenging nave optimism and the illusion of certainty in shallow religion, the author cites a Judeo-Christian faith that has left us in the dark, so that we can never know what God is up to, whether hes coming or going (Ecclesiastes 3, The Message).
And yet, the invitation is to explore authentic spiritual formation by balancing the objective with the subjective, the historically given Holy Bible with a private mystical quest. Illustrating this with his own life, the author reveals a deeply meaningful existence that is available and includes a full range of pathos whereby the secrets of his [her] heart will be laid bare. So he [she] will fall down and worship God, exclaiming, God is really among you! (1 Corinthians 14:25, New International Version).
WestBow Press (a division of Thomas Nelson & Zondervan) named In The Dark as a top ten finalist in the 2015 New Look Writing Contest.
