Exposing the Darkness

Book excerpt: Darryl Fitzwater and his family appeared to the outside world to be a good Christian family. But in truth, Darryl was not a good Christian. He was hard on his wife and children, expecting them to meet impossibly high standards and never showing love or encouragement. He believed himself to be better than the other Christians he knew and was critical and judgmental of everyone. And he had a dark secret. In 2007, on the day before Thanksgiving, his deep, dark secrets were finally exposed. Darryl's wife, RaeLynn, discovered him in the nude with their teenage daughter, Sierra. As it turned out, Darryl had been struggling with pornography for years, and his lust led him to live with a hidden heart of sin. When the truth was revealed, life as he knew it was completely destroyed. He turned himself in and spent time in jail and away from his family, and the most amazing thing happened—he learned what it means to have peace with God and to serve Him with all of his heart. Today, Darryl and his family have forgiven and reconciled, and this thought-provoking book chronicles Darryl's many discoveries as he dealt with his sin. He encourages readers to take a hard look at the hidden sin in their own lives and bring it to the light so they can begin to truly live a victorious and fruitful Christian life. All will be revealed in Exposing the Darkness: And Lighting the Way to Life in Christ.
