Daniel P. Schrock

"Many Christians enter a period when they feel abandoned by God and experience a dryness in their spiritual lives. Daniel P. Schrock demystifies the quite common phenomenon of the dark night, which is often confused with depression. Schrock connects the dark night to Christian discipleship and God's mission of creating shalom. It functions a bit like a second conversion, he writes. The dark night is ultimately a gift from God."
