ABOUT THE BOOK
HOPE
Searching For A Door In The Dark
Are you exhausted from trying to hold on to hope?
When life grows dark and you can’t find your way, Hope: Searching for a Door in the Dark offers a guiding light. Through honest stories of heartbreak, loss, and resilience, Mark Young invites you into a journey that faces life’s hardest questions—about faith, purpose, and whether hope still makes sense in a broken world.
From personal struggles with depression, debt, and disaster to the deep wounds of abandonment and tragedy, Young weaves together real-life experiences with timeless biblical truths. This book doesn’t pretend to have easy answers. Instead, it gently walks with you, showing that even in your most hopeless moments, God has not abandoned you.
If you’re searching for a way forward, if the darkness feels overwhelming, Hope reminds you that there is a door—and a Savior—who will lead you through it. Don’t give up. Let Hope hold you until you’re strong enough to walk again.
