Description - Sacred Stories of Ordinary Families by Diana R. Garland

When families are faced with crises and challenges?
unemployment, the untimely death of a family member, natural
disasters and chronic illnesses? those who seem to weather
the crisis best are often those who have an active spiritual
dimension to their lives together. And in times of joy and
celebration families with strong spiritual lives rejoice in deeper
and more wondrous ways. But what exactly is it that characterizes
faith and spirituality in family life? Identifying resilience,
strength, and faith in the stories of all kinds of families,
Sacred Stories of Ordinary Families motivates readers to
think about how faith shapes their own family lives. Drawn from
Diana R. Garland's extensive interviews with 110 families, this
book includes stories from ordinary families whose lives together
both reveal and rely on extraordinary faith.
