Shuler's story will help you receive grace in your own struggles. Joining Clarence is Monique Gadson (affectionately known as "Dr. Mo"), a licensed counselor who helped Clarence escape a very dark place in his life.

In the "Your Journey" section at the end of each chapter, you will be guided to reflect on your own walk in darkness and find ways back to joy.
