Finding God's Light in the Dark

Christians are supposed to be "the light of the world." Yet, it seems that we spend most of our time stumbling in the dark. We desire answers carved in stone, but instead, we are met with uncertainty. We crave a clearly marked path and a panoramic view of the future, but God grants us only fleeting glimpses of what lies ahead—and just enough light to take the next step.

So, what do we do? We take the next step. In her much anticipated follow-up to Looking for God, Nancy Ortberg takes readers on a journey that began thousands of years ago. From an ancient cave in Turkey to the California coast, Nancy highlights the often unexpected, sometimes imperceptible, yet always extraordinary means God uses to light our way - sometimes through even the most painful and challenging moments in life.

The path of faith is rarely a straight and well-lit road. Instead, it is a winding and dimly lit journey, filled with uncertainty and obstacles. Yet, it is in these moments of darkness that we are called to trust and follow the guidance of our Heavenly Father. Despite our desire for clear answers and a perfect blueprint for the future, God often provides us with only a flickering flame to illuminate the next step.

This is the essence of the Christian experience - walking by faith, not by sight. It is a call to step out into the unknown, trusting that the Lord will guide us and provide the light we need, even when the path ahead is shrouded in darkness. Through Nancy's insightful storytelling and reflections, readers are invited to embrace this truth and find comfort in the knowledge that they are not alone in their struggles.

As we navigate the twists and turns of life, it is easy to become discouraged and lose sight of the bigger picture. However, Nancy reminds us that God is constantly at work, using even the most unexpected and difficult circumstances to guide us closer to Him. From the ancient cave in Turkey to the California coast, the author weaves together a tapestry of stories that illustrate the profound ways in which God illuminates our path, often in the most surprising and meaningful ways.

Ultimately, this book is a call to trust and surrender, to let go of our need for control and to embrace the mystery of faith. It is a reminder that, even in our darkest moments, the light of God's love and provision is always present, guiding us forward one step at a time. By sharing her own experiences and the stories of others, Nancy invites readers to find hope and inspiration in the truth that, no matter how uncertain the future may seem, God is always faithful to light the way.
