Glimpsing Resurrection by Deanna Thompson
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. “The 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,� says Thompson. Glimpsing Resurrection focuses less on the “why� to help readers instead come to terms with the “how� 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.
Deanna A. Thompson teaches religion at Hamline University in St. Paul, Minnesota. Diagnosed with stage IV cancer in 2008, she has spent the years since talking and writing about how cancer and faith might coexist. Her books include Hoping for More: Having Cancer, Talking Faith, and Accepting Grace and The Virtual Body of Christ in a Suffering World. For more information, visit www.deannaathompson.com.
