Developed In The Dark

By Tony G Doyley

It has been said before that "life is a collection of seasons". Sometimes, when we are going through the more difficult ones, we may scratch our head and ask God, "What are You doing?" Or, "why am I going through this?"

Under one of Israel’s most formidable threats Mordecai motivated Queen Esther with the words, Yet who knows whether you have come into the kingdom for such a time as this?  God speaks to our hearts during troublesome and insecure circumstances to remember His purpose, plan and calling on our life. When that plan takes longer than expected, we can begin to entertain alternatives to what God promised. If you find yourself doing this, or have done this, you are not alone. Abraham and Sarah did it. Many others have. But, there are truths that you will discover in Developed In The Dark that will encourage you through those confusing moments. This is not pass-through reading material. Take your time. It will speak to your heart and to your situation in order to help you determine the will of God in your next decision. 

In describing the exodus from Egypt, the seventh chapter of Acts "when the time of the promise drew near." You will realize there are certain God-realizations that have a due date. Tony Doyley strengthens our conviction in the faithfulness and grace of God. 

Happy waiting for the manifestation!

Tony Doyley takes readers on a journey to stepping into their purpose with patience and peace as they trust in God’s timing. Tony helps shift the reader’s focus from their frustration of waiting to their faith in God’s plan. He encourages the reader not to be afraid of the dark moments in life because God is using those moments to develop our character and to prepare us for His purpose. Developed In The Dark is a guide for anyone who is struggling to believe as they wait to see the fulfillment of God’s promises in their life. I highly recommend this book for anyone looking to have their faith strengthened, their hope restored, and their perspective redirected.

If you are not 100% sure about your life’s trajectory, this is the book for you.  Developed in the Dark is a Biblical mandate:  put your faith and trust in the Lord as you seek to fulfill your life’s purpose.  Tony uses Biblical truth to prepare your heart and mind for HIS plans for your life.  The analogies and applications that are woven into scripture are a brilliant road map of direction and encouragement.

In a culture where immediate gratification is king – you want it, you should get it….and right away – Developed in the Dark shines a literal light on the power of God’s timing in our lives.  DITD guides us through Scripture, weaving together lessons that remind us of God’s promises, our potential and the real-life, daily challenges designed to mature us in faith and for our ultimate calling.  Clearly, Tony Doyley is living this process himself because he gives rich truth on every page.  I found myself highlighting his powerful but concrete examples to apply in my own development. Join me - this is a must read for all who are growing in faith and curious about God’s timing in their lives.

FOREWORD

Dr. Steve Ball, Sr. Pastor Metro Tab Church

Life brings different seasons. As we grow and mature, these seasons provide us with different experiences and opportunities. In each season we face, we can choose to become better or allow our frustrations to prevent us from moving to a greater place in our personal journey.
