Holy, Holy, Holy, Though the Darkness Hide Thee
The path to growth often leads through suffering - yet that is where God, intimately present in pain, is met and known. Though the Darkness tells of one doctor's journey to serve others through missions, only to be brought to the end of herself - and there, to meet God anew. In this memoir spanning two years of medicine, culture, and life in Nepal, Rebecca Martin offers an unflinching look into the beauty and challenge of medical ministry. She shares the realities of illness, death, poverty, and loss while serving as a physician in a cross-cultural context, as well as the experience of enduring Nepal's earthquakes in 2015 and their aftermath. This book takes the reader on a spiritual journey rife with suffering, yet one where Christ is encountered more deeply. It is for anyone striving to serve in challenging spaces or coming up against apparent failure. Ultimately she bears witness to a God who, in love, wrestles us to the end of ourselves - only to bring us near.
