Learning to Walk in the Dark

[*Read by the author - Barbara Brown Taylor]Barbara Brown 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. Doesn't 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.'' She argues that we need to move away from our ''solar spirituality'' and ease our way into appreciating ''lunar spirituality.'' Through darkness we find courage, we understand the world in new ways, and we feel God's presence around us, guiding us through things seen and unseen. Often, it is while we are in the dark that we grow the most.
