Light in a Dark Place

Light in a Dark Place Where Faith Confronts Depression

D. Harrington2019
I want the world to see my insides like a badge, like a statement saying "" this is how bad it really is. Are you a Christian who battles depression? Have you wondered why your faith isn't meeting your needs? D.M. Harrington understands the crushing weight of depression. When reality didn't align with the deep-rooted beliefs she held since childhood, D.M. began asking tough questions of her faith. By confronting spiritual questions that didn't have easy answers, God revealed the shackles that bound her to the dark. Light in a Dark Place breaks down our own desperate questions of faith into digestible nuggets, which show how to make a faith walk practical. Much of our pain is our shredded hands refusing to let go in an invisible tug-of-war with God. But we must let go""of our illusions about life, our irrational expectations, and our preconceptions about God. It is the only route to relief. Light in a Dark Place explores questions that plague many, including: - Why am I unable to help myself? - Why won't God fix me? - How can a good God allow bad things to happen? - Could I be the problem? - and more With a compassionate voice, D.M. Harrington relies on Scripture and the One who gave her answers as she crawled after the light. You are not alone in your depression. No matter how many years you have fought or how many wounds you have accumulated or how exhausted you are""there is light. You can thrive emotionally, mentally, and relationally in spite of depression. D.M. Harrington has a bachelor's degree in Psychology and Communications from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill but currently works as a Certified Public Accountant. As a member of American MENSA, she uses her capacity for complex thought to search the mysteries of God for help in managing major recurrent depression disorder. D.M. lives in Charlotte, North Carolina with her rescued Boston terrier, Pearl, and her three-legged Jack Russell mix, Frankie. Join the conversation at: www.lightinadarkplace.com
