Let in the Light: Facing the Hard Stuff With Hope

by Patricia H. Livingston

Life has a way of being so much harder than we expect, and we often find ourselves stumbling awkwardly in the darkness. But light is central to both our physical and spiritual existence, and Pat Livingston helps us find it. She helps us reframe our responses to difficulty and darkness in positive ways, blending thoughtful insights with practical suggestions. Livingston helps us embrace life's imperfection, and shares poignant stories of family and friends, joy and heartbreak. And with her signature good cheer, she invites us to open our hearts and minds to the light of kindness, laughter, mercy, and gratitude.

This is the second little "devotional" I've read by this author. Through storytelling she imparts Biblical truths and encouragement. I especially liked the chapter, Light for Each Other. Appropo to the book is the line from Leonard Cohen's Anthem: "There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in."

Encouraging and light. A reminder to not dwell in the darkness or negative. I found it helpful for where I am. Would read again!
