Insight into Disappointment

Based on the Waverley Abbey Insight Day on Disappointment, this book will help both those working with others through the impact of disappointment, and those who themselves face such testing and difficult times.

At some point in our lives almost all of us will face bitter disappointment in one area or another. Hopes and dreams lie shattered at our feet. We may feel despairing, disillusioned, dejected. Where is God in all this?

This book aims to recognise and validate the pain and impact shattered dreams have on us; to bring God's hope into the midst of our confusion and, especially, to emphasise the power of our response to disappointment.

Examine the choices we make, the grace we receive and, ultimately, the transformation we experience as God's love strengthens us to be risk takers once again and to press on.
