Even in Our Darkness (häftad, eng)

"I am the descendant of drinkers and drifters better at passing on their love for the bottle than family history..." Prepare yourself for an unvarnished, harrowing look at one Christian''s life. 

A powerful memoir of knowing and being known by God through the pain of loss, tragedy, and brokenness—Even in Our Darkness explores what it means to fend off doubt and despair, even in the most painful trials.

Jack Deere tells the true story of his life growing up near Fort Worth, Texas in the 1950''s and the disintegration of his family following his father''s suicide.

Despite his difficult childhood and an inclination toward the depression that had crushed his parents, Deere describes how he began to wrestle with Christianity and how "God was...slipping in through the crack of an open wound."

In his mid-twenties, Jack rose to fame and success as a leading scholar, popular speaker, and bestselling author.

But despite being rescued and exalted, Jack was devastated in the years that followed, losing his troubled son to suicide and his wife to alcoholism. Only then did he fully face his own addictions, surrender control, and experience true healing.

An authentic story of the Christian life, Even in Our Darkness is like following an experienced guide through a barren country.

Like many believers, Deere has had experiences that nearly destroyed him, and he was shown, by grace, how to overcome life''s disappointments and learn to hear God speak in unbelievable ways, despite the darkness that surrounds us.

"Unmasked, unsettling, and unforgettable .

. . this will change the landscape of your soul." —Ann Voskamp, bestselling author of The Broken Way and One Thousand Gifts.
