Walking in the Dark: Trusting God when life happens.

On June 16, 2016, the lights went out on pastor Steve Mickel. The sudden death of his 21-year-old son plunged him into deep darkness, causing his long-held faith to hang in the balance. Had everything he’d ever learned and taught about God been a sham? Why would God allow such a catastrophe? What if He’d even caused it? With refreshing honesty and humble compassion, the author boldly confronts the soul-searching questions we all ask when darkness falls. When you’re trying to navigate your pain, questioning God’s true character and trustworthiness, this book will be your headlamp. It will not illuminate your entire path, but it will help you find a God you’re perhaps not expecting. May you take comfort in these pages. May you discover freedom to express your every emotion. And may you seize the opportunity to maneuver through the darkness toward a deeper, stronger, and more sustainable faith in a trustworthy God. May this book be an honest, compassionate companion for you in your own walk in the darkness and may you find a glimmer of light and hope in what may be a very dark place.
