Summary

'God whispers to us in our pleasure, speaks to us in our conscience, but shouts to us in our pain.'C.S. LewisLet's face it. Life is tough. The Christian life can be especially tough. But a wise man once said, 'Don't doubt in the dark what God has revealed in the light.'That's precisely the inspiration for Don't Doubt in the Dark by George Sweeting, former President of the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. This is a book about how faith and hope can and should sustain us during the dark periods when we are tempted to doubt the magnificent promises of our God. We do struggle in the dark places of life. We face painful circumstances beyond our control. But we have a Savior who promised to never leave us nor forsake us. In Don't Doubt in the Dark, Sweeting encourages, challenges, and comforts us with the promises of God. We may never understand the mysteries of God, but we can cling to His promises with confidence.
