In the Church today, many are experiencing a crisis of faith, the dark night of soul. One survey of Church leaders revealed that 97% had a friend or family member who experienced a crisis of faith. Elder Marlin K. Jensen was once asked about members of the Church "leaving in droves". He responded, "The fifteen men [of the First Presidency and Quorum of Twelve] really do know, and they really care. And they realize that maybe since Kirtland, we never have had a period of, I'll call it apostasy, like we're having right now". This book is for those who are experiencing a crisis of faith and those who support them. It explains the divinely designed purpose of a crisis of faith and that it is not the death of our testimony, but the birth of a more refined testimony. It explains that the dark night of the soul, the most severe crisis of faith, is a divinely designed spiritual chrysalis intended to transform us into all the Lord needs us to become and all that we will want to become: the best version of us. It reframes doubt and crisis of faith to alleviate the shame and guilt many feel when they believe or are told their doubts are the results of their own actions. The book equips the reader with the mindset, toolset, and skillset requisite to endure a crisis of faith and help others endure it. In this book, the reader explores these key points: - Doubt is not the absence of faith; it is evidence of it. - There are five stages of faith - We often experience a crisis of faith to help us transition to the next stage. - The dark night of the soul, the crisis of faith at stage three, is the most severe crisis of faith. - The dark night of the soul is divinely designed to transform and refine us.
