Set Free From Darkness: A Memoir by Susan Klarkowski-Rasmussen is a heart wrenching memoir about the author's struggle with mental illness and her path to grace which was offered by God. It's the story of Danielle, the way she died, and also about how victory comes when broken minds and hearts are healed. The author's encounter with New Age religion and bipolar illness made her fearful and paranoid, and her efforts to be normal when she wasn't normal at all reach out to readers as they are taken along with her on life's journey, her struggle with mental illness after Danielle's death, and finally finding solace in God. It's a mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual journey for the author that begins with darkness and ends on a positive note.
I found the author's story touching, poignant, and tangible. Her faith in God is inspirational and shows us what the power and presence of God can do in our lives. The book is honest and the author's words touch the hearts of readers and also make them believe in the love of God. The story definitely is a good testimony to the power and presence of God in our lives and how God works in our lives. It's a story of pain, sorrow, forgiveness, restoration, and faith, and motivates all those who are on their journey seeking 'light.' The book also shows readers the rock in the author's life, whom she calls Jesus Christ, and who is always there when situations get out of control!
