Few souls are as synched to the worlds mysteries as Barbara Brown Taylors.... Taylor writes spiritual nonfiction that rivals the poetic power of C.S. Lewis and Frederick Buechner. - TIMEOffers a different way of looking at darkness, not as something to be feared, but as something to be embraced. - Interfaith Voices, NPRNew York Times bestselling author Barbara Brown Taylors Learning to Walk in the Dark provides a way to find spirituality in those times when we dont have all the answers.Taylor has become increasingly uncomfortable with our tendency to associate all that is good with lightness and all that is evil and dangerous with darkness. Doesnt God work in the nighttime as well?In Learning to Walk in the Dark, Taylor:Asks us to put aside our fears and anxieties and to explore all that God has to teach us in the dark. Argues that we need to move away from our solar spirituality and ease our way into appreciating lunar spirituality (since, like the moon, our experience of the light waxes and wanes).Through darkness we find courage, we understand the world in new ways, and we feel Gods presence around us, guiding us through things seen and unseen. Often, it is while we are in the dark that we grow the most.With her characteristic charm and literary wisdom, Taylor is our guide through a spirituality of the nighttime, teaching us how to find our footing in times of uncertainty and giving us strength and hope to face all of lifes challenging moments.
