Mother Teresa — Times of Darkness
September 14, 2007
John Piper, at Desiring God, has authored a small book called When the Darkness Will Not Lift.
In light of what we have been reading about Mother Teresa’s battle with ‘darkness’, Piper may have some insight we can draw from on this issue.
Here is a quote from John Piper:
Even the most faithful, focused Christians can encounter periods of depression and spiritual darkness when joy seems to stay just out of reach. It can happen because of sin, satanic assault, distressing circumstances, or hereditary and other physical causes. This book, which is an expansion of a chapter in When I Don’t Desire God, aims to give some comfort and guidance to those experiencing spiritual darkness.
You can read the book online here (240KB PDF).
