Spirituality for Brokenness: Discovering Your Deepest Self in Difficult Times

Terry Taylor

We each have broken areas of our lives. Whether from things that happen to us or as consequences of our own choices, there are times and situations where our very souls feel fractured. We may deny, react or struggle to conquer our problems, but what we need is a clear-eyed and kindhearted method of understanding and moving through our trials. If we turn to a spirituality uniquely tuned for times of brokenness, we can transform these moments of supreme vulnerability into unparalleled opportunities for unhindered reflection and spiritual growth. Terry Taylor guides you through a compassionate yet highly practical process of facing, accepting and finally integrating your brokenness into your experience of life. He offers concrete methods based on teachings and practices from many religious traditions, including: * Ancient Christian practice of lectio divina to face our brokenness * Tibetan practice of Tonglen to generate compassion for ourselves * Jewish tradition of naming to give our brokenness a limited identity * Muslim practice of hajj - pilgrimage - to bring the journey full circle Readers of any faith tradition will find kindness and wise counsel in this useful, step-by-step process to recovering the wholeness we seek.
