ZEPHYRHILLS – Peter Castellani, executive director of the Pregnancy Care Center of Zephyrhills, has written a book, “The Great Darkness,” to help people find their God-given purpose, heal from abortion experiences and awaken the church.
Castellani will host a book launch party at 6 p.m. Nov. 6 at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, 20735 Leonard Road, Lutz.
Community members, faith leaders and those touched by pregnancy loss, abortion and spiritual struggle are invited to an evening of conversation and renewed purpose.
Castellani shares personal testimonies and lessons rooted in faith, showing how individuals can move from silence and shame to restoration and service.
The book aims not only to confront a divisive issue but also to illuminate stories of resilience that can reshape how communities minister to one another.
Castellani seeks to shed light on the struggles and triumphs faced by individuals navigating these challenging circumstances.

“The Great Darkness is a call to the church and the wider community to step into broken places with courage and compassion,” Castellani said. “My hope is this book opens doors for honest conversation, brings healing to those who have suffered in silence and equips people to find and live their God-given purpose.”
The launch event will include a short reading, a discussion about themes in the book and time for questions, answers and conversation.
Guests will have the opportunity to connect with local ministries working on healing and outreach.
While the event is free, organizers are requesting reservations so they can prepare enough refreshments and seating. Email or call 813-493-1864 to reserve a spot.
