On the Edge of Hope, Mark Chironna explored the darkness and the suffering and how we can get our hope back. He opened up about how he spent three and a half years going into a deep darkness. He felt anxiety, depression, and tremendous pressure from life. He compared his pain to that of his experience with kidney stones. He shared how he felt he lost his voice and the pain he experienced. He lost about twenty pounds because he stopped eating as much and had to force himself to eat. He shared how he lost his own personal power. Before his breakdown, he was traveling a lot and speaking 4-5 times a week and he had a hectic schedule. He was a pastor and did coaching. He shared how we believe that all of our thoughts are accurate because we are thinking them. These can be positive or negative thoughts or even a mixture of them. In the book, he looked at the story of Job and how he suffered and he dealt with feeling like a bus hit him. Mark shared how he also went through a period of darkness and what he learned along the way.
I would recommend this awesome book to anyone is going through a period of darkness and they are looking for a ray of hope. I appreciated how open Mark was when he shared how he dealt with his darkness and how he was able to turn his life around and come back into the light. I also liked how he shared a personal story about his grandfather and the struggles he endured. I liked how he shared that when his own father lost his own brother it changed him and influenced how he raised his own son, Mark. I immensely love how he explored Job and what we can learn from his own hardships.
"I received this book free from the publisher, Bethany House/ Chosen for my honest review.”
