Finding Faith In The Dark

Finding Faith In The Dark: When The Story Of Your Life Takes A Turn You Didn't Plan

Speaker, author, and associate pastor of Ocean Hills Covenant Church in Santa Barbara, CA, Laurie Short provides evidence that God works in ways we could never imagine, at times when we think it's too late.

Can we trust a God who gives us different answers than we pray for? Who lets us walk in darkness for months (and sometimes years) at a time? Speaker, author, and associate pastor Laurie Short says yes, and through her story and the stories of others she reveals a God who is able to transform the dark chapters of our lives into opportunities of grace.

This book is for those who are facing the reality of a grim diagnosis, a painful divorce, a season of doubt, or a broken heart-and are fed up with cookie cutter answers. It's about finding your way through that place of pain, not just out of it, because there is something that dark place can give you.

Through the chapters of this book, readers will see how unanswered prayer can be God's greatest answer; how his withholding can be a sign of grace, and how the dark times of our lives can ultimately grow our faith. Tracing God's fingerprints, Laurie Short tackles some of the big questions of faith, weaving in stories that reveal God's presence when it appears he's nowhere to be found.
