NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR

How do we get through dark times when we feel like giving in to fear and despair, and when existential dread has convinced us of our smallness?

In this real, resonant book, Anne Lamott uses her own recent marriage as a framework to explore how our lives can be enlarged through renewed commitment to ourselves and those around us. With warmth and wit, she looks at what it means to care for the soul when struggling with fear and dread, and to emerge with exuberance, purpose, and possibility, with new love for and joy in those around us.

Our lives shouldn't be about what gets us ahead in the game or the demands others make on us. Wise, compassionate, and spiritually uplifting, Dusk Night Dawn is a book for anyone looking for Christian hope and encouragement in times of fear and dread. It will leave you restored and show you how you can care for your soul and live peacefully and exuberantly going forward.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
