Blackest darkness, glorious mercy

God's Grace in Your Suffering.

When it comes to suffering, there are no quick fixes or easy answers. But even when we can’t immediately see God’s hand—when affliction is difficult and painful—He is at work. David Powlison weaves together the truths of Scripture, personal stories, and the words of the classic hymn “How Firm a Foundation”, and in doing so he leads us to explore (as a seasoned counselor) the way God enters into our suffering, helping us perceive God's work in our particular affliction and discover how God's grace works more deeply than we imagine.

“David’s wisdom has helped me through much of my years as a quadriplegic, and I highly recommend Darkness Visible, Glorious Mercy widely. It is a wonderful guide for those who, each day, travel the arduous and blood-stained path to Calvary.”
Joni Eareckson Tada founder, Joni and Friends International Disability Center

“Sometimes navigating the advice of others when we are in the midst of suffering can be an additional ordeal. Powlison dispels all that by giving readers the gospel—showing them the firm foundation of the Word. He puts the compass of God's Word in our trembling hands and points us to true north: Christ himself.”
