A Memoir of a Soul that Longs for Beauty
A young, accomplished professor and a bestselling author, Jack Deere quickly rose to fame, speaking the world over about the ideal Christian life. Bust as the story of his life unfolded, it did not lead where Jack expected.
Even in Our Darkness traces Jack's story of growing up in the radically divided South with his two brothers, baby sister, and young mother - who would turn to alcohol and bad relationships to deal with Jack's father's suicide. After years of "success", Jack would lose his own son to suicide and his wife to addiction.
Eventually, Jack would come face-to-face with his own demons - an addiction to success, pride, and his need to control others. Only then would he surrender control and begin to listen.
Prepare yourself for an unvarnished look at the Christian life, told now for the first time. It will serve as your own guide in overcoming life's disappointments, learning to hear God speak in unimaginable ways, and discovering how to find beauty, even in our darkness.
