Abstract
All around us, people are in pain. Emotional, physical, relational, spiritual--whatever its source, the pain feels the same. David Biebel, whose son died of a rare genetic disorder, is intimately familiar with how much life can hurt. He skips the platitudes and well-meaning advice and instead offers the unvarnished truth. He writes, "Pain has two faces, human and divine. The human face is haggard, drawn, contorted and streaked with tears. The divine is calm, assuring, kind, and loving--but likewise streaked with tears."--Publisher's description
Description
When losses come, they can bring: Crisis: learning my limits ; Confusion: what's wrong with me? ; Fragmentation: when life's no fairy tale ; Putting the pieces back together -- When losses come, what do I know? God loves me: I can count on Him ; Suffering has value: I can trust Him ; Jesus wants me whole: alive from the inside out -- When losses come, who do I know? Loving God in a new way: loyalty ; Toward integration: real people in a plastic world ; Power from the pain -- To kiss the joy: celebrating what is.
