It's unnerving, isn't it? When our faith feels ungrounded, untethered . . . unreal. When our certainty is adrift, as though an undercurrent has pulled us away from shore into the deep, into the darkness.
This is disillusionment.
This is spiritual pain.
This is losing hope.
And if this is you--if you're in a dark night of the soul--please know that you are not alone. (And you are not as far away from safety as you may feel or fear.) Though faith shines best in full sun, it grows depth in the dark.
The night is not your enemy.
In fact, the night is necessary.
In The Night Is Normal, revered author, speaker, and mentor Dr. Alicia Britt Chole offers a groundbreaking perspective that reveals spiritual disillusionment as an unexpected friend. Within these sacred pages, you'll explore how:
- The roots--and fruits--of spiritual pain are actually an invitation to deep love
- Mistaking emotions for devotion and viewing abundance as proof of obedience create an unsustainable model for Christianity
- A strong night-faith can lead you into something far more satisfying than understanding and far more powerful than peace
Our reality is broken, but God has not changed. Whether you're disillusioned with God, yourself, or others, Alicia offers practical and soul-full tools to help you navigate the night and find your way to a livable and love-saturated hope.
Your night will not last forever.
Within it, there is priceless treasure
that's simply too weighty to be sourced in sunshine.

In person or in print, Dr. Alicia Britt Chole's voice cuts through fluff and summons souls to walk with God anew. As a speaker, leadership mentor, and award-winning writer, Alicia places words like an artist applying paint to a canvas. Nothing is wasted. Every word matters. Heads and hearts are equally engaged. A former atheist, Alicia's worldview was interrupted by Jesus as she began her university studies. Of that experience she states, "I would have had to commit emotional and intellectual suicide to deny God's reality." Today, her raw faith and love for God's Word hold the attention of saints and skeptics alike. Alicia focuses on less-than-trendy topics like spiritual pain, the leader's soul, the potential of anonymous years, decrease as a discipline, and the abuse of spiritual authority. Business leaders, pastors, college students, and churches agree: Alicia is an unusually disarming combination of realism and hope, intellect and grace, humor and art. Alicia and Barry have been married for 35 years and are eternally grateful for their three children, all of whom are Choles through the miracle of adoption.
Alicia holds a doctorate in leadership and spiritual formation from George Fox Evangelical Seminary and is the founding director and lead mentor of Leadership Investment Intensives, Inc., a nonprofit devoted to providing confidential and customized soul-care to leaders in the marketplace and church. Her books include Anonymous, 40 Days of Decrease, The Sacred Slow, and The Night Is Normal. She has spoken around the world at hundreds of conferences, seminaries, Bible colleges, churches, retreats, and on podcasts. Her favorite things include thunderstorms, honest questions, The Lord of the Rings, and anything with jalapeños. In a culture obsessed with all things new and shiny, Alicia brings ancient truth to life.| Erscheinungsjahr: | 2023 |
