In an instant, a tragic accident claimed three generations of his family: his mother, his wife, and his young daughter. While most of us will not experience loss in such a catastrophic form, all of us will taste it. And we can, if we choose, know as well the grace that transforms it. A Grace Disguised plumbs the depths of our sorrows, whether due to illness, divorce, or the loss of someone we love. The circumstances are not important; what we do with those circumstances is. In coming to the end of ourselves, we can come to the beginning of a new life -- one marked by spiritual depth, joy, compassion, and a deeper appreciation of simple blessings. Average Rating:

Rating:  - A little slowThe ideas presented were very nice, but I felt this book moved a little slow and was, at times, very repetitive. Rating: - This book was such a helpI lost my husband of 31 years almost 2 years ago now to a GBM; brain tumor. I received many books from people, but this book by Jerry Sittser was the one that truly helped me. I didn't read it right away; reading was difficult for me at the beginning as I couldn't really focus. But when I picked this book up and started it, I just kept on reading. Here was a man who understands catastrophic loss; his was the death of family members, but he also talks about other types of loss one encounters in ... Read More
