A profound and moving book . . . Seldom since Carl Jung himself have any authors undertaken such an important and difficult subject from a perspective that combines religion and psychology.

This book is a blessing! I keep it close at hand in my work as a psychotherapist and as one learning to dance with a chronic illness.

A book to heal so many wounds of misunderstood suffering. Suffering not as blame, punishment or mysteriously meaningful, but as the painful transformation into our innermost truth.
