Bright Days, Dark Nights: With Charles Spurgeon in Triumph over Emotional Pain

Elizabeth Skoglund deftly relates the teachings of Charles Spurgeon to such human experiences as loneliness, anxiety, depression, and change. Her conclusions are wise and practical. This is a book to keep for rereading -- John Timmerman, professor of English, Calvin College

Though many are accustomed to lookingto Spurgeon as a model for sermonic inspiration, theological understanding, evangelistic fervor, dedication to truth, devotional comfort, and even entertaining humor, this book will inspire us to consider Spurgeon in the darker times of despondency. If such a humble and mighty servant of God as Spurgeon suffered these agonies, may others not profit from the study of his experiences, so wonderfully spread before us by Elizabeth Skoglund? -- Bob L. Ross, director, Pilgrim Publications, Pasadena, Texas

Elizabeth Ruth Skoglund is the author of more than twenty-five books, including Amma and A Quiet Courage. She also has a private counseling practice in Burbank, California.
