Ebook
Overview
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 other make on us. Wise, compassionate and spiritually uplifting, Dusk, Night, Dawn is 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.
’Chock-full of her trademark wit . . . this is [Lamott’s] first book since getting married, so those honest insights about choosing love amid anxiety are sure to shine even brighter.’
