Media Reviews
An Episcopal priest in New Jersey and founder of the ecumenical spirituality center Interweave, Morris (Wrestling with Grace) attempts to address the question of human suffering and God's role in it, perceiving God not as a distant witness of human suffering but as one who has shared and continues to share actively in it. As the concluding poem to Jesus put it, 'When You rose, hallowed, harrowed One, / it was not without your scars.' Highly recommended. Graham Christian Library Journal July 21, 2005
Steeped in spiritual wisdom and seasoned with personal experience, this fine book offers real nourishment to all who hunger for life liberated from the prison cell of suffering. With keen insight and well-tested practices, Robert Morris shows us how to fashion a new framework of meaning that sets us and the afflictions we endure securely within the victorious courage of God. John Mogabgab, editor of Weavings June 21, 2005
