When one goes through one's "dark night of the soul", one can respond in different ways. When the author entered what she calls her "valley of the shadow of death" and remained there for about five years, she chose to look up and focus on the light instead of being intimidated by the shadows in the darkness. During this period she wrote over a hundred blog pages, penning her experiences on a wide range of subjects, from shedding light on the deeper aspects of relationships to why people get hurt in churches. She searches out her own dark hidden attitudes and lays them bare in absolute frankness, vulnerability and total transparency.

Every piece in this book is loaded with wisdom and should be approached in the same way one would do a devotional, leaving one time and space for contemplation and meditation.
