There's no escaping it: everyone experiences seasons of pain and despair.

When Amber Haines resigned from her position as church curate, she entered her own season of grief. Through it, she and her husband, Seth, discovered that the journey toward hope starts with recognizing "the deep down things."

In The Deep Down Things, Amber and Seth point to a simple truth: even in the darkest times, there are signs of hope all around us. By tasting, touching, feeling, holding, and participating in these tangible acts of hope, we can experience the divine love of God and become agents of hope in the world.
