The Shadow of Evil: Where is God in a Violent World is a "must read" for every person who is struggling to cope with adversity and loss:

Do you battle everyday with the realization that a senseless tragedy has altered the course of your life?

• Do you feel overwhelmed by hardship and yet powerless to overcome your circumstances?

• Have you ever felt abandoned by friends and family who just cannot seem to understand what you are going through?

• Has your faith in God suffered from the nagging doubt that even He has somehow forsaken you in your time of need?

If you can answer "yes" to any of these questions, then you must consider reading this book- the author has written it with you in mind!

The Shadow of Evil chronicles the events surrounding the murder of the author's mother in 1991 by Wichita's BTK serial murderer. Jeff describes his own painful emotional and spiritual struggles in a brutally honest manner which takes the reader with him through his long journey of emotional recovery, from deepest despair to eventual hope.

By sharing his experiences in such a candid manner, readers are able to relate their own sense of loss, emptiness, isolation, or anger, to the author's ordeals, allowing the reader to connect with his message on a cognitive, emotional and spiritual level. Those reading this work can come to understand that their own turbulent mix of emotions and questions of faith are normal, even to be expected.

It is the author's hope that once readers have accompanied him down this long road of recovery, they too, will find a renewed sense of purpose and meaning in their lives, despite whatever adversity they have had to endure.
