The Dark Side of COVID-19

Will I ever be able to overcome and recover from this infectious and toxic virus? Will I be transformed and drawn to Christ through my suffering and pain?

The COVID-19 global pandemic has left us bone-weary, grieving, and fragile-and many of us are asking these questions.

Sidelined by grueling illness, Severo S. Alvarado struggled to make sense of the deepening madness within his mind, body, and spirit. We often think of night as a time of rest and peaceful reflection, but Alvarado dreaded the dark hours. Alone, depressed, fearful, and hopeless, the darkness became the enemy of everything good as he searched for answers and solutions.

In The Dark Side of COVID-19: Toxic Darkness Gives Way to the Light, Alvarado candidly discusses his struggle and invites readers to embrace the light he clung to during pain and suffering. Though our physical eyes may focus on our present trials, Christ opens our spiritual eyes to find hope and experience intimacy with God.

There can be great hope in times of adversity when we face the darkness with faith and trust in God. Let the light of Jesus dispel darkness to reveal peace.
