Title: The Consolations of Imperfection
Description: There are limitations in life. We need eyeglasses to read, our children make choices that sadden us, and in the back of our minds we are aware of the inevitability of death. Instead of resenting life's limits, Donald McCullough suggests that we view them as personalized details of a divinely created portrait. While not making light of painful situations, he offers affirming reflections on the hidden gifts of embracing life's limits. Using anecdotes and inspiring stories, McCullough covers topics ranging from limitations on the body, senses, and knowledge to limitations on moral goodness, spirituality, and time. Readers looking for encouragement and a better way to approach life's inevitable limits will enjoy this witty and insightful book. - Publisher.
