Can we trust a God who gives us different answers than we pray for? Who only fully reveals himself when we look back? Who lets us walk in darkness for months (and sometimes years) at a time? In Finding Faith in the Dark, Laurie Short says yes, and through her story and the stories of others, she reveals a God who is able to transform the dark chapters of our lives into opportunities of grace.
Maybe you've been there:
When these things happen, we are left wondering "Where is that God who promises to answer our prayers if we trust in Him? Why isn’t my life turning out the way I hoped, let alone how I had planned?"
If you are, or have ever been, in that place, this book is for you. And more than helping you find your way out, this book will help you find your way through that place.

Tell us a little about yourself. I am a speaker, author and part time pastor at Ocean Hills Covenant church. You can find out more information on my website.
What was your motivation behind this project? When my life fell apart, I had a crisis of faith and learned things about God that I wanted to share with others.
What do you hope folks will gain from this project? Hope, encouragement and a new perspective on their struggle- as well as a deeper appreciation and love for God
How were you personally impacted by working on this project? This represented a new chapter in my writing and my ministry, because all of my former books were for youth and youth workers- more "how to" books. This was more personal, and has led to a new emphasis in my speaking ministry.
Who are your influences, sources of inspiration or favorite authors / artists? Philip Yancey, CS Lewis, and most of all people in the bible who walked dark and confusing times- Joseph, Job, Moses, Abraham, Sarah and others. So much in their stories can give us hope!
Anything else you'd like readers / listeners to know: I am available to speak, and have some clips and testimonials on my website- would love to be available to minister on topics related to the book!
