Description
Mary Earle's journey with chronic illness began unexpectedly in 1995, when a sudden case of pancreatitis forced her to re-evaluate her relationship with her body. As a priest and spiritual director, she turned to the practice of lectio divina to find new ways of living with limitation and fragility.
Through this approach, Earle discovered a way of befriending and helping to heal her body and life. In 'Broken Body, Healing Spirit', she shares her practical strategy for "reading the text of our illnesses" and learning to listen to what our bodies are trying to tell us. This book offers a step-by-step guide for those seeking ways to live more fully despite chronic or serious illness or pain.
