Produktbeschreibung

"Bless you prison, bless you for being in my life. For there, lying upon the rotting prison straw, I came to realise that the object of life is not prosperity as we are made to believe, but the maturity of the human soul." = Aleksandr I Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918-1956 What happens when serious stuff goes wrong in our lives? Do we just fold-in? Curse the dark? Fight but lose strength/ Lose hope? Draw on a well of deep sustaining resources? Bruce Wilson's story is about his wrestle with the serious stuff gone wrong. A wrestle with a misfunctioning physical body. With dark forces of the mind. With anger at fated errors. A wrestle with an old self dethroned by a new self. With Spirit. With God as present and with God as strange and absent. Above all, this is a story of hope. Wilson draws on deep psychological, intellectual and spiritual resources available to us all. With profound paradox, he blesses the heart attack that began it all for being part of his life.
