Book Description
“In The Radiant Midnight you will find not merely abstract ideas about the essence of darkness or how to go about facing it. You will also find humor, Wisdom. Honesty. You will find Melissa’s very bone and blood…it is here, then, in reading—rather, perhaps, listening to—her words, that your heart, trapped as it may feel in its own midnight, begins to see the first signs of dawn.” –Curt Thompson, MD, author of Anatomy of the Soul Grace and Hope for Long Dark Nights Have you ever suffered with depression, sadness, or the feeling that you just can't seem to get it together? Do you wonder if you could ever view your deepest wounds in a different light? Through candid storytelling, biblical truth, honest lament, and unexpected humor, The Radiant Midnight is a bold refusal to simplify the experience of suffering by moving too quickly to try to relieve it. With questions to guide you and practical suggestions to lead you through dark moments, this book takes you on a journey of surrender, suffering, rest, and restoration as it encourages and comforts you in whatever struggle you face. The message of The Radiant Midnight is fueled by the passionate belief that not only will God lead you out of darkness, He will be fully and beautifully present within it. You can find deep contentment in painful circumstances and discover a profound intimacy with a compassionate, tender God who is with you in every moment—in each hope-filled dawn and every radiant midnight.

Book Description
The acclaimed author of Bad Girls, Good Women delivers an epic and adventurous love story set against the stunning backdrop of Antarctica. Alice Peel is a geologist. She believes in observation, measurement, and proof. But now, as she stands alone on the deck of a rickety Chilean ship, everything that lies ahead is mysterious and unpredictable. Six weeks earlier, her life at Oxford had been reassuringly comfortable. But when her relationship suddenly fell to pieces, she accepted a job that would take her to the end of the earth, joining the Kandahar Research Station in Antarctica. When she arrives, Alice discovers an ice-blue world lit by a midnight sun. Nothing has prepared her for the beauty of it—or the claustrophobia of a tiny base shared with eight men and one other woman. The isolation wipes out everyone’s past, and tension crackles in the air. One fellow researcher, James Rooker, is especially secretive. Yet Alice cannot deny the bolt of recognition between them. But Antarctica is a place of danger as well as beauty, and Alice is about to make a discovery that could change her life forever . . . if she survives. “Illuminating yet quietly revealing, Thomas’s latest is elevated by its unique setting and its strong characterization.” —Publishers Weekly
