Light Beyond Darkness: Meditations Inspired by Darkness Within

By Collin Edwards

Journey through a powerful collection of spiritual meditations inspired by "Darkness Within: A Black Horror Anthology." These reflections invite readers to explore the shadowlands of prejudice, privilege, and racial injustice while illuminating pathways toward healing and reconciliation.

Drawing from the theological wisdom of Howard Thurman and grounded in Christian scripture, each meditation corresponds to a story from the original anthology, transforming horror narratives into sacred opportunities for self-examination and spiritual growth. Topics include the unconscious biases that feed on our denial, the masks we create that ultimately consume us, the whitewashing of divinity, and the poison of prejudiced language.

The collection culminates in a transformative sermon that challenges readers to move beyond contemplation into action through three spiritual practices: lamentation, confession, and embodiment. This book speaks to all who seek to confront the darkness of racism-both personal and systemic-and discover the light of authentic reconciliation that lies beyond.

Perfect for individual reflection, group study, or as a companion to "Darkness Within," these meditations offer a unique integration of horror, theology, and racial justice that will challenge and inspire readers of all backgrounds who are committed to the difficult but necessary work of building beloved community.
