Whether we are a Christian or not, during some part of our life, a season of darkness will come knocking on our life and will seek to engulf us. It is in such seasons of darkness that we need to know how to find God's path, to guide us out of darkness and into the light.
For many individuals, a season of darkness could be when your child has been rushed into hospital and your heart is beating with panic and worry. Or perhaps a medical consultant informs you to go home and let your family know that time is no longer on your side.
A season of darkness could be a difficult financial time, a bankruptcy or loss of a job, or it could be a time when your child has wandered from God. So many potentially difficult and challenging situations can create a season of darkness in our lives.
For Ken Davidson, his season of darkness was when he was faced with several threats to his life, a season of drugs and alcohol, homelessness, several bereavements in his immediate family and much more.
Alison Davidson was raised in a Christian home, yet even with this nurturing environment, she rebelled against her family and God. Later, both Ken and Alison dramatically experienced the salvation of our Lord Jesus Christ. When Alison was diagnosed with M.E. at an early age, the debilitating illness came back with a vengeance when Alison and Ken got married, a time when their marriage was already under severe stress and they found themselves and their relationship coming asunder. But God had another plan as He has a plan for you!
You will find yourself spiritually enabled against your own seasons of darkness as you read, Finding God's Path in a Dark Season.

"Ken Davidson is one of the good guys! I have known him, his wife Alison and their children for a number of years and I consider him to be a true friend, a fellow labourer and soldier in the fight of faith. He has a passion for God's truth revealed in Holy Scripture and is not ashamed to declare the whole counsel of God in times of apostasy and lukewarmness. I heartily recommend this book of his life and ministry in various vineyards and know you will be encouraged and inspired at what you read."

"I would thoroughly recommend 'Finding God's Path In a Dark Season' to everyone and especially to the unsaved that they may see God's goodness in the lives of this faithful couple."
Dr Alan Stephens Senior Pastor, Church of God, Glenmachan, Belfast.
"I remember Pastor Ken Davidson when I was a young lad growing up in Whitewell Church. I always remembered Ken having a passion for the lost and preaching in the open air. This is where I saw a man who desired people to come to know Christ. Pastor Ken's ministry over the years has went from strength to strength due to his love and faithfulness to the lord. His ministry is dynamic and fruitful and many people have been inspired, encouraged and
saved by the preaching by this servant of God. His story will be inspirational and heart touching and will encourage you to draw closer to our glorious Saviour."
