A Walk Through The Dark is a story of faith, trust and learning to rely completely on God. This book is a companion book to her husband's book titled "90 Minutes in Heaven". If you haven't read that book, I suggest you do. It's also amazing! The two books can be read in any order.
In this book, Eva Piper has learned the hard way how things can change in a matter of minutes. One day she is a teacher, mother and wife going through daily life. The next day, her husband is injured in a horrible car accident and life is turned upside down. Eva finds herself completely out of control. She finds the only way to survive is to put all her trust in her loving God. Her life already focused, her instincts take over. God speaks to her heart that things will be okay, and she trusts that. What she doesn't realize at the time is how long it will take to get to there and how hard the road will be. She faces situations which in hindsight make sense, but at the time are hard to accept.
Eva has to become the decision maker in what are the hardest times she has dealt with. Through the struggles she learns confidence in handling situations, which allow her to share with others and others to share with her. She finds a part of herself she never realized was there.
I can't imagine someone going through such trying times without the foundation resting on God. Eva Piper is a strong example of what a wife is supposed to be and what she should do. Love unconditionally. I find her to be a great inspiration with a wonderful testimony.
Although everyone struggles with different things, what she teaches us is how our faith deepens when we only have our faith. At times when we have no idea what to do, God shows us.
I highly recommend this book to everyone. I guarantee you will not read this and come out unchanged.

ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting read, reminds me of the "A Walk in the Cloud" movie.
ReplyDeleteIt is true that when we are in a pickle it always makes us stronger
ReplyDeleteThis should be good inspiration to be ready and to overcome
I generally do not read this type of book but agree that it will probably help many women out there when and if they encounter difficulties.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great book
ReplyDeletewhile reading your review, i imagined myself i was eva piper. what if that happened to me, will i react the same way as eva did? i know God speaks to us in different ways and shows His love for us, we only have to discern it and trust Him all the time, even in our darkest days.
