Thomas Parr helps Christians who are struggling with the many hardships of our times who when they read the Bible for comfort seem to only see the darker elements of the text.

The Bible is full of goodness and severity but the way to deal with this is not to retreat from it. Many Christians' emotions haven't yet learned to harmonize with the gospel's tones. They don't feel safe in Christ's arms, because they don't yet see how the gospel shines light in all the dark places.

Parr addresses many potentially unsettling matters, such as God's judgments in the earth, law, conviction, chastening, relational problems, aging, and the last judgment. Yet Joy in the Dark Places will prove a great encouragement to you in our difficult times.
