How do we stay faithful as we wait on God?

The time after Good Friday but before Easter Sunday is one of the most overlooked portions of the Bible. We tend to rush ahead to the empty tomb seeking to find the resurrected Lord, but our lives don’t come equipped with a fast-forward button. We all face seasons of waiting where we long for a new or better future.

Peace in the Dark invites you to look again and acknowledge the reality of Holy Saturday. The example of the early disciples in those in-between hours offers a depth of wisdom about what to do when things have gone wrong. Their practices can serve us as we face our own disappointments, trials, and even traumatic experiences. There is a way to not just live but to experience peace when God seems silent. Rooted in Scripture, nature, and her personal experiences of years of trial, Jessica Herberger guides us through what was happening on that day, why it matters, and how we can approach our Holy Saturdays with hope and faithfulness.

Review

"In a world where grief and our lowest places are isolated, ignored, hurried, and even masked with rushing, distraction, avoidance, and excuses, Jess brings us back to the sacred paradox of living simultaneously in peace and pain. Her words brilliantly take the reader through the timeline of Holy Saturday and the personalization for us similarly in the ‘in between spaces’ of our lows and our highs. The spiritual disciplines of lament, rest, and gathering are woven into every chapter, gloriously reflecting the light within us all as believers and the depths to which Jesus lowered himself so we may find victory in and on the other side of our sacred loss. Jessica has given us a sacred piece of her beloved Paradox and the descents and ascents we all walk similarly, yet not alone and not void of his light. Brilliant. Convicting. Comforting. Amen and Amen." --―September McCarthy, author of (Why) Motherhood Matters, New releases with Moody Publishers 2023, 2024

"Jessica Herberger manages to take a quiet day that we know little about―Holy Saturday―and offers us a gift we hardly knew we needed. Through careful reading of Scripture and history, compelling narrative, and lived wisdom, she shows us what it means to grieve, feast, endure the quiet, trust what can’t yet be seen, and allow paradox to be an invitation instead of a frustration. Peace in the Dark will help you discover fullness within the emptiness of the space between the crucifixion and resurrection, and how―even there in the deepest darkness―Light remains." --―Adriel Booker, author of Grace Like Scarlett and Tethered to Hope

"Placed between the horror of the cross and joy of the empty tomb, Holy Saturday has much to teach the Christian on life, death, and the persistent challenge of living in the already/not yet. In Peace in the Dark, Jessica Herberger explores these paradoxes in a manner that is both profoundly reflective and deeply practical. Illuminating the glories of Holy Saturday with her evocative words and hard-earned wisdom, Jessica speaks gospel truth into the griefs and wounds of life with the deepest compassion and sincerest presence." --―Danielle Hitchen, author of Sacred Seasons and the Baby Believer® series

5.0 out of 5 stars Timely and tender

Holy Saturday has fascinated me for a long time, so when I saw that Jess’s new book was written around themes drawn from Holy Saturday, I knew it had to be my Lenten read this year. Little did I know how timely this book would be for me. In the midst of uncertainty and upheaval in core areas of life, the reminders and gentle exhortations Jess offers as she digs into the grief of Holy Saturday and how Jesus’s followers responded to that profound grief have been pivotal in helping me grapple with the mess and uncertainty and grief I’m drowning in at the moment.

But here’s the best part, though dealing with some heavy themes and complex theology, the chapters are short, relatable, and easy to read and process. She does a great job of alternating between anecdotes that provide concrete and relatable imagery and the more abstract themes and direction. The end result is a little book that is helpful, comforting, and gentle—for the mind AND the soul.

I highly recommend this book, and I will definitely be seeking out more of her books in the near future!

Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2024
Holy Saturday is something I never thought about or knew much about. Peace in the Dark manages to be educational, but actually restful. I learned about waiting, and saw how Holy Saturday can be practiced in my own life. A truly beautiful book.
