MARCH BOOK STUDY: Learning to Walk in the Dark
(March Book Club will meet on March 27th) Barbara Brown Taylor’s Learning to Walk in the Dark provides a way to find spirituality in those times
when we don’t have all the answers. Taylor has become increasingly uncomfortable with our tendency
to associate all that is good with lightness and all that is evil and dangerous with darkness. Doesn’t
God work in the nighttime as well? In Learning to Walk in the Dark, Taylor asks us to put aside our
fears and anxieties and to explore all that God has to teach us “in the dark.” She argues that we need to
move away from our “solar spirituality” and ease our way into appreciating “lunar spirituality” (since,
like the moon, our experience of the light waxes and wanes). Through darkness we find courage, we
understand the world in new ways, and we feel God’s presence around us, guiding us through things
seen and unseen. Often, it is while we are in the dark that we grow the most. With her characteristic
charm and literary wisdom, Taylor is our guide through a spirituality of the nighttime, teaching us how
to find our footing in times of uncertainty and giving us strength and hope to face all of life’s
challenging moments. Kindle devices are available in the church office for checkout if you’d like to
read the book. You can also find it at the library or on Amazon. \
