Publisher's Description
In Seasons in the Dark, the stigma and silence around mental health in Christian life are shattered. This anthology dives into the raw, turbulent waters where faith meets despair, offering a lifeline to those who believe in a God who heals, saves ,and sets free--and yet find themselves struggling under the weight of depression and anxiety. Seasons in the Dark is a collection of six short fiction stories interwoven with reflective poetry and a poignant devotion, offering spiritual insight and solace for those grappling with the struggles of mental health. The stories and poems weave luminous threads of hope, trust, and freedom, charting a course through the darkness. They are quiet, subtle beacons in the fog of despair, whispering direction, belonging, and identity. With empathy and honesty, Seasons in the Dark provides a safe, nonjudgmental space, reminding readers that they are not alone. Here, there is no pressure to "fix" yourself, but rather an invitation to see the hand of a loving God who is with you through it all--even if you don't feel it right now. This collection doesn't deny the reality of those feelings, but offers comfort and strength for the journey ahead.

“In a world that wants instant answers and shiny facades, Chris Lee explores a deeper faith found in the dark. Chris invites us to sit with the uncomfortable that begs the question ‘where is faith, or hope, if the darkness doesn’t end?’ Each poem and story stands alone in illuminating various truths. They remind us that God’s perfect work in us doesn’t require neat wrapping and a bow to bring forth something beautiful.”
“Chris Lee has surprised me with her gifting in writing and storytelling. Her stories are so relatable for those of us who have suffered with mental health and depression. The ability to take one on a journey—and make you feel like you have lived it with her—is incredible. The lovely part is that Chris Lee not only writes but humbly lives her message of hope and comfort even when experiencing a season in the dark.”
“Seasons in the Dark offers a Christian perspective on mental health. Through modern day parables, poetry, and narrative, Chris taps into the depths of her experiences to find joy and victory in the love of Jesus. I found this anthology to be relatable, challenging, and encouraging, and I gladly endorse it.”
