About Finding Hope in a Dark Place: Facing Loneliness, Depression, and Anxiety with the Power of Grace

“When you’re in a dark place, it is also a sacred place because God is there with you.”

In this refreshingly candid book, author, life coach, and conference speaker Clarence Shuler shares his own story of depression and how, by God’s grace, he’s learning to effectively manage it. Shuler’s story will help you receive grace in your own struggles.

Joining Clarence is Monique Gadson (affectionately known as “Dr. Mo”), a licensed counselor who helped Clarence escape a very dark place in his life. Learn from Dr. Mo as she offers counseling insights and expertise woven throughout Clarence’s story, bringing clarity and wisdom to anyone desperate for hope. In the “Your Journey” section at the end of each chapter, you will be guided to reflect on your own walk in darkness and find ways back to joy.

Finding Hope in a Dark Place—part memoir, part mentorship, part workbook—will help you recognize your own story in Clarence’s and remind you that hope is possible and worth pursuing. Even in the darkness, God is with you in that sacred space.
