Watershed by Michael Ford
All of us can be suddenly confronted with a decisive moment of difficulty or change. But fear prevents many of us from seizing the day. This is a book about facing those life-changing experiences that define the future, and how the stories of others can inspire us when we need psychological and spiritual resources to cope. In this text, written for spiritual seekers of any age, Ford draws on his extensive experience of interviewing people at the turning point of their lives. Through encounters with a fascinating range of people, from Bruno Tonioli to Juliet Binoche, from the Benedictine prioress who gave Elvis Presley his first on-screen kiss, to a father grieving for his son killed in the Omagh bombing, Ford shows how in the twists and turns of people’s lives it is possible to discern moments of light even in dark and hopeless times. He also reveals how he faced and accepted his own biggest watershed.
The spiritual adventure of life is confirmed when the hard full-stops of life are slowly, sometimes painfully, transformed into commasAnother chapter begins in these periods and something is momentarily understood. Michael Ford is a gentle, insightful and trustworthy guide for this adventure. Never letting a good crisis go to waste, his theology gathers in all the fragments making it very much for the world and not just the Church. -- Mark Oakley, Canon, St Paul's Cathedral
