A close look at a period of disappointment and anger toward God that offers hope to anyone who has ever experienced spiritual silence and darkness.

An encouragement to believe when God seems silent.
A close look at the dark night of the soul in Catherine Marshall's life.

Over seventeen years had to pass before Catherine Marshall LeSourd's book Light in My Darkest Night was written. Catherine had always intended to write it herself, but for some reason the opportune moment never seemed to come. After a few years, I began to wonder if the events of such a significant phase in her life would ever be told. But as time went on, the story not only didn't fade, but kept coming up in conversations with friends and family: 'Do you remember the summer of 1971? How many lives were touched… How long did it take Catherine to recover? What book did she talk about it in?' The answer to the last question is: no book.

Catherine Marshall dedicated only a few passages in a couple of her books to her period of trials and tribulations, but she kept much of her anguish and desolation hidden from her readers, her friends, and even her family.
Now these intense and compelling pages describe her slow, painful ascent from the depths of her spiritual valley.
Assembled from journals and recorded interviews, Light in My Darkest Night will convey an unforgettable message of hope: if we allow Him, the Lord will help us become strong precisely in our weaknesses.
