Download A Crazy, Holy Grace: The Healing Power of Pain and Memory AudioBook Free
When pain is real, why is God silent? Frederick Buechner has grappled with the type of pain, grief, and grace ever since his father devoted suicide when Buechner was a boy. He sustained that search as a father when his little princess struggled with anorexia. In this essential collection of essays, including one never before publicized, Frederick Buechner confirms that the God who might appear so silent is ever before near. He creates about what this means to be a steward of the pain, and relating to this grace from God that seems arbitrary and yet draws us to his holiness and treatment. Finally, he creates about the magic of storage and exactly how it can close up the old wounds with the thoughts of previous goodnesses and graces from God. Here now are the best of Buechner's writings on pain and loss, covering such topics as the power of invisible secrets, lack of a dearly beloved, enabling go, resurrection from the ruins, calmness, and tuning in for the silent words of God. And he reveals that pain and sorrow can be a treasure - an amazing grace. Buechner says that loss will come to all or any folks, but he creates that we aren't only. Crazy and unreal as it might sometimes appear, God's holy, curing grace is obviously present and available if we remain enough to get it.
