We always want to believe that light comes after the darkness and hope follows tragedy, but we don’t always see that even in the lives of Christians.  I just finished a new book, not yet released, by Robin Strine entitled ‘Into the Darkness…Guided By His Light’.  Robin attends our church, so the message in this book allows us to put a face with the story.  Robin was involved in a freak automobile accident that eventually caused her to lose her eyesight.  Repeatedly throughout the story we see bad news followed by a breakthrough, then more bad news followed by another breakthrough.  Robin lives the kind of stubborn love others just talk about.

When the book is released in the near future, I encourage you to buy one, get her to autograph it for you, and read about God’s mercy in the face of adversity.  It will give you hope. And perhaps it will motivate you to pass it on to someone else who also needs that hope.
