Everyone suffers at some time or other - it's simply a part of life. But however bad things seem, we are never completely helpless. For the deeply affirming truth is that we can choose how to respond to adverse circumstances. In this lively and engaging volume, Trystan Owain Hughes suggests that learning how to suffer and how to wait patiently may be the secret of finding joy in our lives. Diagnosed with a degenerative spinal condition, he was surprised to discover that, instead of increasing his unhappiness, it spurred him on to seek out sources of hope and meaning. In the first part of the book, the author encourages us to embrace the practice of 'awareness' and 'acceptance' in our daily lives, so we may take a step back from our anxieties and worries and rest in the love of God. He then explore five areas where that love may be found in the midst of pain: in nature, memory, art, laughter and other people. By learning to reflect on our experiences in these areas, by becoming conscious of the echoes of the transcendent, we will gain new strength. And paradoxically, through facing our suffering, learn to truly live.
