The 1930s were perhaps the seminal decade in twentieth-century history, a dark time of global depression that displaced millions, paralyzed the liberal democracies, gave rise to totalitarian regimes, and, ultimately, led to the Second World War. In this sweeping history, Piers Brendon brings the tragic, dismal days of the 1930s to life. From Stalinist pogroms to New Deal programs, Brendon re-creates the full scope of a slow international descent towards war. Offering perfect sketches of the players, riveting descriptions of major events and crises, and telling details from everyday life, he offers both a grand, rousing narrative and an intimate portrait of an era that make sense out of the fascinating, complicated, and profoundly influential years of the 1930s.

DARK VALLEY .and Beyond is the story of a journey through traumatic grief. When the great love of her life was taken, deep grief was compounded by the testing of her faith. The very foundations of life seemed to be swept away. Yet the faithful Shepherd, though hidden for a time, held her through the storm, sent help when needed, and "restored her soul." This is a record of God's faithfulness "though I walk through the Valley of the shadow of death..." It is a record of pain and struggle leading to healing, hope and purpose. The author grew up in a small village nestled in a farming community. It was there, as a child, that she met God. After high-school she attended a Bible College where she came to know, respect, then to love a young man who also worshiped the Lord. She taught school for a short time, then they married and together raised four children. The relationship with her earthly love, shared for more than half a century, was recognized both by herself and others as uniquely precious, a gift from the very hand of God. When death tore them apart, grief struck like a tsunami; the storm of dark, excruciating anguish nearly destroyed her. But God, though for a time unseen in those shadows, held her close and brought her through-changed, still acutely aware of deep loss-but trusting the purpose of the Almighty, the deepest Love of her life.

Few people escape dark days or mind-boggling distress. Fewer yet are prepared when crushing blows leave them staggering with grief and pain. Knowing God's tried and proven mind-science principles will mean the difference between developing a growing positive experience rather than a trip into debilitating depression. Some might classify When You Walk a Dark Valley as a self-help book. It is more than that; it is how to turn disaster, overwhelming grief and paint into wells of water springing up like artesian springs for exuberant, thriving in Christ. It is turning bitter experiences produced even by supposed dear friends and loved ones, into victorious Christian living beyond your wildest expectations. It is taking every negative of life and finding incredible joy in Jesus and growth in His grace to become what He intended you to be. It is realizing that the way God has led was right for you and was really from His hand. Beyond all this, it will make the reader an instrument in God's hands to win the very souls who sought to wound him, making him the carrier and administrator of God's ultimate agape love. Realizing more of His selfless love, you will know more of His grace to not merely survive unbearable pain, but then to thrive in His more abundant life. You will find His peace in trusting Him with every inch of your innermost soul. If you personally take these few brief lessons to heart, you will never be the same again. This will be your reward for reading When You Walk a Dark Valley!
