Produktbeschreibung
A story of motherhood, mental illness and redemption. Following painful decision to abort a pregnancy, Jessica found herself spiralling towards a suicidal breakdown. She survived, and, with the support of family, friends and faith, found her way back to life. Centred around the story of Mary Magdalene's encounter with the risen Christ, The Woman at the Tomb is a testament to the healing power of prayer and the great mercy alive in the Scriptures. I wrote my story in order to gain insight into the event. As the story developed, I began to wonder if the experiences I had and the spiritual gifts given to me had a wider significance than just my own healing. There is so much shame and despair around this issue. But there is also the possibility of grace. And there is a way back to life for those of us who find ourselves weeping into the tomb.
Autorenporträt
'The first stories I ever heard were the gospels' says Jessica Lockhart. 'My father would read the daily gospel to his family before dinner as a way of saying grace ... That big, blue Bible held a world beyond my own filled with miracles and grand events and spoke of this extraordinary man who could heal people with the touch of his hands.' Jessica's early involvement with the Scriptures was to return later in her life to help her heal from her grief over an abortion and to make sense of a lifetime of untreated mental illness. Today she has come to find some stability and peace. 'I have battled with mental illness for most of my life, and it is only in the last five years that I have felt any sense of true hope. My children and my faith have been the main drivers of that.' Jessica has written for theatre and film and is currently working on her first novel. Apart from reading and writing, her main interests are her children, her friendships, and her faith.
