Have you ever read a Scripture and thought, 'that sounds nice, but can it actually make a difference to what I am going through?' We all experience dark times - that is unavoidable. They are bewildering, painful times of turmoil in our thoughts, emotions and circumstances. They take us beyond what we can manage and endure through our own strength and ability. God allows us to go through difficult times, but it is His desire for us to learn how to handle them in His strength so that we can find His life-bringing, power-filled treasures in that darkness.This book examines Biblical examples of people who experienced the darkness and found the treasures of God in it: the treasures of His heart, truth, hope, joy, rest and more. It is not a book to read through in one sitting: it is to be used practically to equip and enable us to live effective and transformative lives of faith. Each section has suggestions for how to respond actively, creatively, reflectively. Come treasure-hunting!
