Book description
With compassion and hope, spiritual writer Sr. Anne Field helps us face
the inevitable losses we experience through aging, illness, and other
causes of suffering. She gently urges readers to choose freely to
replace gloomy attitudes of self pity with God's perspectives on pain
and disabilities. God, she says, does not want to burden us with more
losses but wants to strengthen us to bear our suffering. The Lord wants
us to find meaning in life by growing deeper in faith and love and
extending his kingdom on earth through our losses, not in spite of them.
Anne Field, OSB, is a member of a community of Benedictine nuns at
Stanbrook Abbey in Worcestershire, England. She is the author of several
best-selling books on the spiritual life, including From Darkness to
Light, The Monastic Hours, and Delivered from Evil.
