A powerful memoir of finding beauty and friendship through the pain of loss, tragedy and brokenness, Even in Our Darkness explores what it means to know God and be known by Him.
Jack Deere tells the true story of his life growing up in East Texas in the 1950s and the disintegration of his family following his father’s suicide. In his mid-20s, Jack would rise to fame and success as a leading scholar, popular speaker and best-selling author.
But despite being rescued and exalted, Jack would ultimately be crushed in the years that followed. He would lose his son to suicide and his wife to alcoholism. Only then would Jack wrestle with his own addictions, surrender control and experience true healing.
An unvarnished story of the Christian life, Even in Our Darkness will serve as your own guide in overcoming life’s disappointments and learning to hear God speak in unbelievable ways.
