You have prayed the Rosary until your knees ached. You have sat through Mass feeling absolutely nothing. And you have told no one.
The Dark Pew is the book Catholic publishing has been too afraid to write - until now.
This is not another devotional that tells you to pray harder. It is the first book to say, plainly and without apology, that depression is not a lack of faith, that the silence you feel in the Eucharist may be a symptom and not a sin, and that the darkness you have been hiding has a name, a cause, and a path through.
The Dark Pew is the book Catholic publishing has been too afraid to write - until now.
This is not another devotional that tells you to pray harder. It is the first book to say, plainly and without apology, that depression is not a lack of faith, that the silence you feel in the Eucharist may be a symptom and not a sin, and that the darkness you have been hiding has a name, a cause, and a path through.
Drawing on Scripture, the honest letters of saints like Mother Teresa and St. Thérèse of Lisieux, modern psychology, and pastoral wisdom rarely spoken from the pulpit, this book finally gives voice to what millions of Catholics worldwide - including the fastest-growing Catholic communities of Africa and the Global South - have carried alone in silence.
It speaks to the sufferer in the pew. The priest behind the screen. The mother who has stopped sleeping. The teenager who is terrified to say the truth out loud.
If you have ever felt forsaken in a faith that promised you would never be alone - this book was written for you.
Open it. You were never as alone as the silence made you feel.
