Overview
From New York Times Bestselling Author Ronald Rolheiser, a Book of Spiritual Insight, Hope, and Perspective on the Hard Parts of Being Human
At different times of life, we all struggle with feelings of frustration, doubt, and heartbreak. How do we find a steady peace during the constant, everyday stream of affirmations and rejections we all face? How do our gifts and talents become a genuine blessing to others? Is it a failure to feel sadness and defeat? Drawing deeply upon the work of Henri Nouwen, beloved author Ronald Rolheiser offers a new book of hope and wisdom. With great compassion, he assures us that God’s grace, understanding, and love are stronger than our wounds, our collapses, our failures, and even our moments of despair.
“All of us are weak and break down sometimes,” writes Fr. Rolheiser. “When the storms of life overpower us, when we reach down for strength to withstand the storm only to find out that the storm is stronger than we are, we need then to reach still deeper and there we will find that God’s heart is stronger than our brokenness.”
In 43 stand-alone meditations, you will find reassuring insight on the deepest needs of the human heart:
- Giving ourselves permission to feel our pain
- Seeing despair as weakness rather than sin
- Accepting the ups and downs of faith
- How to quiet our inner noise
- Lessons learned through failure
- Coming to peace with lack of recognition
- How to find security and trust in hard times
- Experiencing God’s gentle love and quiet presence
For anyone who is walking through a difficult season of life or grappling with spiritual questions, this book will bring comfort, clarity, and a renewed sense of purpose in suffering. Eloquent and warm-hearted, Fr. Rolheiser reminds us of the great mysteries at the core of the Christian faith—our weakness is our greatest strength, our tears draw us closer to God, and our wounds contain the power to heal others.
