Description
Seeing in the Dark: Pastoral Perspectives on Suffering from the Christian Spiritual Tradition
This thought-provoking book explores how the Christian spiritual tradition has grappled with suffering and its role in human growth. It examines how suffering can prompt us to live for what is truly important, while also diminishing our potential.
Through a range of perspectives, from medieval mystics to poets, this book encourages readers not to cling to or flee from suffering, but to discover within it the work of a resourceful and compassionate God. A valuable resource for those engaged in pastoral care or spiritual direction, this book offers a fresh perspective on one of life's most profound challenges.
