Classic Christian work
A Child of Light Walking in Darkness
by Thomas Goodwin
📘 Modern English translation available
A profound Puritan exposition of Isaiah 50:10-11, exploring the experience of spiritual desertion — when God's children lose the sense of His favor and walk in darkness of conscience. Goodwin systematically examines the causes of such distress (the Spirit's withdrawal, Satan's assaults, and the corruption of the heart), the cases in which God permits it, and the ends it serves. The second part offers ten practical directions for recovering light and comfort, making this a pastoral masterwork for souls struggling with doubt and assurance.
