Publisher's summary

It's unnerving, isn't it? When our faith feels ungrounded, untethered . . . unreal. When our certainty is adrift, as though an undercurrent has pulled us away from shore into the deep, into the darkness.

And if this is you—if you're in a dark night of the soul—please know that you are not alone. (And you are not as far away from safety as you may feel or fear.)

The night is not your enemy. In fact, the night is necessary.

In The Night Is Normal, revered author, speaker, and mentor Dr. Alicia Britt Chole offers a groundbreaking perspective that reveals spiritual disillusionment as an unexpected friend. Within this book, you'll explore how: spiritual pain is actually an invitation to deep love; mistaking emotions for devotion and viewing abundance as proof of obedience create an unsustainable model for Christianity; and a strong night-faith can lead you into something far more satisfying than understanding and far more powerful than peace.

Our reality is broken, but God has not changed. Whether you're disillusioned with God, yourself, or others, Alicia offers practical and soul-full tools to help you navigate the night and find your way to a livable and love-saturated hope.

Source of great comfort

This book is amazing. For those of us that lean towards the melancholy, this book is a great source of comfort and peace. I love the reminders of how many great people in the Bible, who suffered greatly were depressed and that was OK. This is a book I will definitely keep handy. Highly recommend.

Thank you!

Such personal and profound sharing of a healthy Biblical theology of pain. Beautifully written. Thank you for reading the audible yourself!

A book you will want to read or listen to over and over!

I would highly recommend this book. There are so many things I’ve learned through this book, but the one that stands out in my mind is “It’s not my cow”.
