Several years later, inthe final weeks of seminary, Durant's world changed dramatically again,when the persistent weakness in one of her hands was diagnosed as ALS(aka Lou Gehrig's disease).

Durant leads readers forward through the confusion of ourcaffeine-fueled and perpetually exhausted world to discover, as she did,a renewing sense of God-given purpose and sacred light which even thedarkest of circumstances cannot extinguish, a place where even insilence, God is present, whispering through us.
An inspiration to any who suffer from a debilitating disease (or knowsomeone who does) and those who provide pastoral care to others. It is astory of God's redemption and new life.
