Finding Hope in a Dark Place

“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.

Wow, if you’ve ever struggled with depression, anxiety, or mental health issues, you have to read this book! Clarence takes you on a personal and very transparent journey through some of his darkest days. And throughout the book, he invites you into conversations with his counselor, Dr. Mo, which ultimately helped him find hope and light and can do the same for you.

Finding Hope in a Dark Place provides a brave, honest, and insightful look at depression through the lens of a man and his therapist friend. In addition to hard-earned wisdom and clinical expertise, Clarence and Dr. Monique have gifted us a beautiful example of how the simple yet often overlooked art of authentic connection brings powerful healing into dark places.

—Alison Cook, author of The Best of You and Boundaries for Your Soul

Clarence Shuler is a godly man who has gained incredible wisdom and insight into depression from years of studying and teaching the Scriptures, counseling others, and from personally applying the word of God to his own heart and mind for decades.
