Are you hungry for more of God? Do you seek a greater understanding of His purpose for your life and hope to walk in His blessings? Do you long for His comfort and guidance and answers when confused? Do you want to know more about the Holy Spirit?

The second in a series, Insights to Finding Spiritual Peace offers a compilation of Bible studies and commentaries written over more than twenty years. They were born from personal experience and insights from God and originated as monthly prayer letters with a written Bible message. These studies invite you to a deeper spiritual walk with the Lord and nourish and comfort the soul through the stresses and challenges of life. The secrets of the Lord’s purposes are found in the Bible, and as the Holy Spirit opens our eyes to His Word, we gain His insight. It is then we can say, “I understand.” This volume presents a series of “now I understand” moments that can bring you knowledge and comfort.

This collection of Bible studies and commentary seeks to help you recognize and benefit from the work of the Holy Spirit in your life.

On Thursday as they ate the Passover meal with Jesus, the disciples believed that the kingdom was coming and they were on the front end of a revolution. Then came the tragedy of Friday and, somehow even worse, the silence of Saturday. They ran. They doubted. They despaired. Yet, within the grave, God's power was still flowing like a mighty river beneath the ice of winter. And then there was Sunday morning. Real, raw, and achingly honest, A Glorious Dark meets readers in the ambiguity, doubt, and uncertainty we feel when our beliefs about the world don't match up to reality. Tackling tough questions like Why is faith so hard? Why do I doubt? Why does God allow me to suffer? and Is God really with me in the midst of my pain? A. J. Swoboda puts into sharp focus a faith that is greater than our personal comfort or fulfilment. He invites readers to develop a faith that embraces the tension between what we believe and what we experience, showing that the very tension we seek to eliminate is where God meets us.
