Learning to Walk in the Dark by Barbara Brown Taylor

Follow Barbara Brown Taylor--"one of the top 10 preachers in America" (Newsweek) and one of the 100 Most Influential People (Time) on her journey to understand darkness, which takes her spelunking in unlit caves, learning to eat and cross the street as a blind person, discovering how "dark emotions" are prevented from seeing light from a psychiatrist, and rereading scripture to see all the times God shows up at night. With her characteristic charm and wisdom, Taylor is our guide through a spirituality of the nighttime, teaching us how to find God even in darkness, and giving us a way to let darkness teach us what we need to know.
