When Life Hurts: Comforting Reflections for Our Troubled Moments

Andrew M. Greeley, one of the most renowned authors and lecturers of our day, here turns his attention to a variety of the trials and frustrations that we all too often encounter in these hectic, pressure-filled times.

These essays on nearly fifty themes address our fears, hang-ups, and worries, providing commonsense advice, consolation, and encouragement. In his inimitable fashion, Greeley blends the wisdom of the Scriptures with his own down-to-earth and uplifting insights. Anyone involved in the frequently harried and painful business of living-indeed, everyone-will find their true solace for those moments when life hurts.

I can heartily endorse this wo … Greeley deals not only with sorrow, but offers truly comforting reflections of other troubled moments, for our frustration, our physical and mental pain, for our hopelessness and despair. -Morton Kelsey
