When Fragments Make a Whole
A Personal Journey through Healing Stories in the Bible
Lory Widmer Hess
Información del libro
A candid and courageous book sharing a personal journey to wellbeing, through the healing stories in the Bible, which will inspire readers on their own spiritual path.
During a difficult time in her life, Lory Widmer Hess turned to the accounts of Jesus's work on earth for comfort and inspiration. She wrote poems about the lives of the people who had been touched by Christ and, over several years, added personal reflections that explored the difficulties she was facing in her marriage, the challenges of raising a family, and setbacks in her career. Gradually she learned forgiveness and self-acceptance.
In a unique blend of poetry, commentary and autobiography, this powerful book shows how we can connect our experiences to the gospel stories in a creative way that allows us to draw strength from them. At the end of each chapter, the essential meaning of the story is distilled into a simple, contemplative phrase. Readers interested in Christian spirituality will turn to this unique and remarkable book again and again for inspiration and contemplation.
