Synopsis

There's no escaping it: everyone experiences seasons of pain and despair.

In 2019, when Amber Haines resigned from her position as church curate and walked out the church doors for the last time, she entered her own season of pain and despair. That season taught her—and her husband, Seth Haines—that the journey toward hope starts with recognizing "the deep down things."

In The Deep Down Things, Amber and Seth point to a simple truth: even in the darkest times, there are tangible signs of hope all around us. The authors demonstrate how tasting, touching, feeling, holding, and participating in these tangible acts of hope picks us up, builds our strength, and moves us into beauty, even in times of despair. They invite listeners to participate with those signs of hope and thereby experience the divine love of God, even in the struggle of their everyday lives.

A lifeline for those who desperately need it, this book helps listeners overcome despair, find hope, and spread that hope to an aching world.

I listened on audio, which is such a treat because Amber and Seth each read their portions of the book and I happen to really like their voices! This is a book about despair (according to Amber) and hope (Seth). The writing was beautiful, thoughtful, and sacramental. I particularly enjoyed the chapt......more
