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.
â oeThe 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, â � says Thompson. Glimpsing Resurrection focuses less on the â oewhyâ � to help readers instead come to terms with the â oehowâ � 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.
