When Your Twenties Are Darker Than You Expected explores the darkest, most unmanageable emotions that your twenties grow in your gut: Depression, Suicidality, Regret, Grief, Doubt, Dissatisfaction, Anxiety, Loneliness, and Lust. You may not know any of these words intimately. If that’s the case, I recommend you don’t purchase this book. This is a meeting place for those who are desperate in their darkness, with the clear conviction that God and humanity have abandoned them. “PaulÕs writing is like Tim Ferris meets S¿ren Kierkegaard Ñ the tactical colliding with the existential.” ÑStephen Christian, lead singer of Anberlin. “ÒPaul Maxwell is the Kierkegaard of our generation. … If you know what I mean when I say ‘Darkness,’ then you simply must buy this book.” ÑDaniel Montgomery, Founder of Sojourn Networ. “This book … is exemplary, as well as unique: raw, confessional, and devotional; something like Augustine meets Sylvia Plath.” ÑEric Johnson, Lawrence and Charlotte Hoover Professor of Pastoral Care, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. “Paul is one of the most intelligent people I know, fiercely honest, and genuine. ThatÕs the kind of companion and guide you need. … His writing is studded with thoughtful allusions, poetic phrases, and images. Mine them for their riches. Meditate on them.” ÑWinston Smith, CCEF Faculty, Episcopal Priest
