Light in Dark Places

For centuries, people have turned to Dark Night of the Soul by St. John of the Cross to find their way through dry, perplexing, and lonely periods of spiritual darkness--times that they discover are really a preparation for new light, joy, and unity in their relationship with God.

"God will bring them into this night which strengthens the soul, confirms its virtues, and makes it ready for the inestimable delights of the love of God," says John of the Cross. The "dark night" is not a place of despair but a passage into deeper communion with a God who desires complete union with us.

This book is filled with specially chosen quotations from this spiritual masterpiece. As you meditate on these excerpts, presented in a beautifully illustrated layout, you will come to understand these dark periods in your life and be inspired to persevere to a new state of spiritual maturity and oneness with your beloved heavenly Father.

The night is only the preparation for the dawning of God's love.
