Staggering Through The Darkness

This book is a raw and riveting story about spiritual battles, navigating dark valleys, the horrors of addiction, and struggling with the loneliness that only years of shameful secrets can produce while outwardly putting on our best church clothes, pretending that everything is okay, and attempting to serve Jesus with a sanctified smile on our faces, like good Christians are supposed to while staggering through the darkness. It's a story about how ugly and uncomfortable the sanctification process is when two kingdoms collide over and over again.It's a story about the subculture of Christianity in the South, where traditions are equal to doctrine in many instances, and how the negative effects of a real Christ-centered community leave us hanging high and dry, isolated and vulnerable.It's a story that shines an unwanted but painfully necessary light on the dark corners of kingdom living, even for ministry leaders, while powerfully reminding us about redemption, grace, and how the gospel has the power to continue to set us free if we will allow it to.
