Stories from the Edge: A Theology of Grief
Dr. Greg Garrett, professor of English, explores questions people tend to ask in times of adversity and reveals how our underlying beliefs often collapse at the point of suffering. Garrett recounts stories from his time as a hospital chaplain, as well as his own experience with severe depression, to show the ways in which today's culture has shaped-often in unhealthy ways-our beliefs about suffering and grief. Westminster John Knox Press, 2008--131 pages
