Learning to Walk in the Dark: Because God Often Shows Up at Night

Learning to Walk in the Dark: Because God Often Shows Up at Night

by Barbara Brown Taylor (Author)

Synopsis

In this long awaited follow-up to the best-selling An Altar in the World, Barbara Brown Taylor explores `the treasures of darkness' that the Bible speaks about. What can we learn about the ways of God when we cannot see the way ahead, are lost, alone, frightened, not in control or when the world around us seems to have descended into darkness?

Contemporary culture throws many brightly lit distractions at us to divert our attention away from the dark, but Barbara Brown Taylor combines her great grace, sensitivity and insight as a writer and priest with the deep wisdom of the biblical and Christian traditions to discover how God is more present to our vulnerable, open night-time selves than to our pre-occupied daylight selves.

Learning to Walk in the Dark is a beautifully written and inspirational book that made me want to spend a night sitting under the stars and read further around the subjects she touches upon. -- Catherine von Ruhland * Third Way *
