Synopsis

Grief can be so debilitating that it blinds you to God's presence. Many who grieve struggle to face the sudden loss, much less embrace it and rest in it. In this remarkably honest book, Sharon Betters tells us the story of her teenage son's sudden death in a car accident. Excerpts from Sharon's journal express her raw grief, anger, and hunger to understand how God can be good and loving and still take away her youngest child.

Sharon Betters draws readers to a passage from Isaiah that carries God's promise to provide treasures for his people in the very midst of darkness and trouble. Whether they're suffering from recent or loss from the distant past, readers of Treasures in Darkness will see how they can experience God's presence and love even during the darkest times.

Goodreads review by Laura on September 07, 2007

This is my mother-in-law's book. It is not only 5 stars because I know and love her; it's 5 stars because she dares to rip open her wounds...to be raw and heartfelt...to revisit her darkest hour in order to help others through their darkest hours. After telling the story of the night of her youngest......more
