In the Dark

I spent some time last weekend with Jennifer Rothschild at one of her Fresh Grounded Faith conferences. I first became aware of Jennifer many years ago and was so impressed. Jennifer and I actually have a lot in common, even though we don’t know each other personally. We both love strong coffee and dark chocolate. And we share a love of God and his word. 

If you don’t know Jennifer’s story - or as she might put it, “in case we’re new friends” - Jennifer has been blind since the age of 15.

And that’s what this book is all about. Lessons I Learned in the Dark  is Jennifer’s story of learning to navigate blindness. But more importantly, it’s the story of spiritual lessons learned. It’s a story of learning to live in the joy of the Lord in spite of circumstances.

Reading this book is like sitting down and having a conversation with Jennifer over a cup of tea or coffee. It’s an easy read. And it’s an encouraging read.

If you have ever read anything she has written, listened to any of her podcasts, or done any of her Bible studies, you know what I mean. If you haven’t, you should. Jennifer is an encourager. And she has a gift for making God’s Word come alive. Even through telling her personal story. 

This is a book I highly recommend. Because through these pages you will get the message she shares over and over again. In this book. In last weekend’s conference. And over and over in between.

“Even when it is not well with our circumstances, it can be well with our soul.”

Lessons I Learned in the Dark is available on Amazon or from www.jenniferrothscild.com.
