Beyond Darkness

Written by Cliff Reed, a retired Unitarian minister, this new book gathers prayers, poems, and reflections composed during a period shaped by terrorist attacks, damage to the environment, and the Covid-19 pandemic. The author contends that such hard times call for a reply that avoids both shallow cheerfulness and hopelessness.

This latest devotional collection is meant to be used in several ways: read aloud in gatherings of congregations, shared in small groups, or read quietly alone for personal reflection.
