Title: Brokenness and Blessing
First published: September 1, 2007
Description: "In Brokenness and Blessing, Frances M. Young begins by exploring the desert spirituality of the early Church Fathers, and develops in this and other ways their approach to the Bible. In doing so, she seeks to recover a sense of the importance of the spiritual meaning of the text, as much as a literal or historic meaning." "Brokenness and Blessing brings together Frances Young's years of work as a scholar in the field of Biblical Studies, and as a preacher, as well as her personal experiences of caring for a son with profound learning disabilities and her journey with him. What emerges is a spirituality which offers both a realistic view of the human condition as well as 'the wonderful gift of grace which brings hope of transformation'."--BOOK JACKET.
