A Glorious Dark is a new book by author A.J. Swoboda. With Good Friday, the silent Saturday and Easter Sunday as the backdrop, Swoboda tackles tough questions about faith, doubt, suffering and pain.
I found this book intriguing because we hear so many sermons on Good Friday and Easter Sunday but rarely will one talk about the silence that was Saturday. What must the early believers have gone through that day Jesus was in the grave. What would they have been thinking? I don't know what was on their mind but I sure know what goes through mine when it seems God is silent.
As I read through A Glorious Dark, I found myself curling back page corners so I could go back to certain points again and again. I started reading those snippets to my wife and really found them encouraging. I think the author did a great job of bringing light into some dark corners of life.
Confusion, fear, it all gets addressed here.
A great book for those who struggle with doubt and fear, an encouragement to those who need hope, and a blessing to those who believe God still changes lives today.
