Facing the Dark Book Series

Facing the Dark is a Christian book series created to guide readers through the hard, hidden, and often unspoken places of the heart. The places we tend to avoid, bury, or battle alone. Through honest storytelling, biblical reflection, and practical insight, this series creates space for readers to confront emotional and spiritual pain with faith, not fear. Facing the Dark doesn’t end at the final pages, it begins. The series acquaints readers with the parts of them they’ve avoided, while introducing them to Jesus, Godly community and resources.

Whether you're walking through anxiety, grief, temptation, burnout, or silence from God, this series was written for you.

Alexander M. Jatto is a 26-year-old man after God's own heart—soldier, counselor-in-training, and a living witness to both deep pain and radical redemption. While serving in the U.S. Army and pursuing a degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, Alexander began writing this series out of a sacred ache—one shaped by over a decade of wrestling with lust, silence, and shame.

His journey through personal brokenness, spiritual healing, and the quiet realities of sexual sin—both in church pews and counseling rooms—became the soil where Facing the Dark was born. This series is not just his testimony; it’s a generational call to honesty, freedom, and light.
