Glimpsing Resurrection: Cancer, Trauma, and Ministry

Deanna A. Thompson
4.9/5 (34692 ratings)
Description:In Glimpsing Resurrection, Deanna A. Thompson combines recent trauma research with compelling first-person narrative to provide insight into the traumatic dimensions of living with a serious illness. Her aim is to help those who are ill and those who care for and minister to them deepen their understanding of how best to offer support."The tendency for Christians to move almost immediately from death to proclamations of new life risks alienating those for whom healing and new life seem out of reach," says Thompson. Glimpsing Resurrection focuses less on the "why" to help readers instead come to terms with the "how" of living with a serious disease. In particular, Thompson provides a framework and concrete suggestions for how to be a church where those who are undone by illness can be undone, as well as a place that can love and support them to hope."Finding space within the psalms, the story of Job, Jesus' cry of God-forsakenness on the cross, and even Christ's descent into hell helps us imagine how Christian communities can be spacious enough to acknowledge and hold those who are undone by illness," Thompson says. "Only then does it become possible to identify the hope that can emerge from our not-yet-resurrection reality to imagine more in life today as well as in the life to come."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
