"Finding Faith in the Dark is filled with stories of people who want to believe when their worlds seem not to support belief. That's the world where real people find the real God." --John Ortberg, Pastor and Author"After hearing Laurie's seesaw account of life as a single- and now married- woman, I urged her to write her story. I thought it would encourage many others."--Philip Yancey, Award winning Author
