Moments of Grace by Joy Maccormick
From desolation to celebration, loneliness to love, Moments of Grace offers pithy, thought-provoking reflections on themes connecting God, faith and the journey of life.
These reflections on the moments of grace that pervade our days come from a listening heart, a questioning mind, an attentive eye and an ear attuned to signals of the divine in likely and unlikely placesJoy McCormack offers her readers the fruits of a faith that is contemplative as well as inquisitive, grounded in truth yet oriented towards hope, both honest and wise. There is encouragement and gentle challenge in this slim volume, and it is a book to be worked with and prayed through, rather than simply read. For those willing to take their time over the questions offered and to pray and journal as suggested by the author, there is much enrichment to be discovered, not simply in the pages of this book, but in the life of the world around. Nicola Slee, theologian and poet, based at the Queen's Foundation, Birmingham
