Finding Your Way In Troubled Times: Meditations for Modern Christians

FINDING YOUR WAY IN TROUBLED TIMES is a product of lived experience, of years walking with people of all ages, faiths and circumstances in search of the deeper sense of purpose and peace that we all desire. It's a quest that takes on different shapes as our lives evolve sometimes gradually and sometimes with a jolt. None of us is exempt. We can find ourselves overwhelmed by troubles we didn't cause and good fortune we didn't anticipate. We can awaken suddenly to a self we hardly know. And when we're most in need, we can find ourselves walking alone. This book is intended as a companion for such times - also for the in-between times of life. Whatever your circumstance, all that's required to find healing and light here is a listening heart. Adult and teen prayer groups have found it helpful for systematic personal growth that these meditations are anchored in the Sunday gospels, as have busy pastors in search of homily inspiration. Opening anecdotes and parables provide easy entry points for people of all ages to reflections that draws them ever nearer to the Good that is our hearts' desire. Whether for random dipping or as a daily or weekly companion for methodical spiritual growth, I hope that FINDING YOUR WAY will be a valued source of wisdom and spirit regeneration worthy of a place close at hand in your home.
