Author : Linda Huntzinger Calhoun
Genre : Nonfiction
This book is written with inspiration, authority, and honesty by one who understands because she has traveled the road. In this book, Linda draws deeply, wisely from the best and brightest minds. Out of that abundance she has fashioned a message of her own, one that will provide counsel and consolation for all those fortunate enough to read it. From the author’s experience as a seminar leader in personal and professional development, spiritual instructor at a large Correctional Facility, and a single mother, comes this empowering, compassionate guide to understanding who you really are, the amazing potential that is your birthright, and how you can achieve it.
“God does not cause suffering; He allows it, and He will help us through it. Eventually, most often we can look back and with the objectivity of hindsight see that valuable lessons have been learned that perhaps could not have been learned in any other way. A wise friend told me, ‘When pain scoops out a hole in your heart, it creates room for compassion.’ It is true: such experiences give us the ability to understand and feel sorrow and empathy for others who are suffering. And, we learn truths specific to us.”
“The experience of suffering is universal; finding our way out of it is a very individual matter. There are no rules about how long we are allowed to hurt, or exactly how to navigate through grief and pain. It takes as long as it takes for you. We just must be sure that while unhappiness is part of the journey, it is not the destination.”
