Everybody Needs Some Cave Time: Meeting God in Dark
Places is a wonderful inspirational, spiritual essay that explains the biblical
metaphor of the cave, showing readers how God meets and transforms them in the
darkest places of their lives. The author explains that “As you read the Bible,
caves seem to be a place where biblical characters find themselves in some of
the most trying as well as exhilarating circumstances.” By design, this book
takes readers on a journey into the seven caves — examining David’s fear, Elijah’s
depression, Samson’s anger, Jesus’ temptation, the grief of Mary and Martha, Mary
Magdalene’s hopelessness, and ultimately, the cave of Jesus’ resurrection.
The cave acquires a symbolic character in this book and so
it should be in our spiritual journey. The author explains how God's grace and Divinity
encounter the brokenness of our humanity in surprising moments. It is a book
with a powerful message of hope, a reassurance that God, in His inscrutable
way, calls and embraces us in those spaces in our heart where we feel the most
vulnerable and abandoned. With wisdom and insight, the author shows readers how
to open their hearts to God and allow their anger, grief, depression,
temptation, and other pains to be transformed into well-springs of living
water. In Everybody Needs Some Cave Time: Meeting God in Dark Places,
Jorge Acevedo invites readers to come to God as they are — uncertain, broken,
weak, but trusting. Jorge Acevedo weaves personal stories into the book, giving
it life and making the message as resonant as it can be. This book is a rare
gift of faith that should be shared widely. There were strong moments of
epiphany for me as I read this book, emotionally engaging moments where I felt
God spoke to me. It is intelligently written and loaded with Biblical wisdom.
