Scarred By Struggle, Transformed By Hope (Chittister, Joan)
Scarred by Struggle, Transformed by Hope is, in Sister Joan’s words, an anatomy of struggle and an account of the way hope grows in us, despite our moments of darkness, regardless of our regular bouts of depression. It is an invitation to look again at the struggles of life in order that we might remember how to recognize new life in our souls the next time our hearts turn again to clay. Neither a self-help manual nor a book offering pat answers, but supremely practical and relevant, this book will richly reward those readers seeking solace in the empathic, wise, and accessible meditations of a fellow struggler.
