When the Darkness Will Not Lift: Doing What We Can While We Wait for God and Joy

"It

is utterly crucial that in our darkness we affirm the wise, strong hand

of God to hold us, even when we have no strength to hold him."

---John Piper

Even

the most faithful, focused Christians can encounter periods of

depression and spiritual darkness when joy seems to stay just out of

reach. It can happen because of sin, satanic assault, distressing

circumstances, or hereditary and other physical causes. In When the Darkness Will Not Lift, John Piper aims to give some comfort and guidance to those experiencing spiritual darkness.

Readers

will gain insight into the physical side of depression and spiritual

darkness, what it means to wait on the Lord in a time of darkness, how

unconfessed sin can clog our joy, and how to minister to others who are

living without light. Piper uses real-life examples and sensitive

narrative to show readers abundant reason to hope that God will pull

them out of the pit of despair and into the light once again.
