When life doesn't go your way: hope for catholic women facing disappointment and pain by Katrina J Zeno

Most women have a mental “script” or plan for their lives. And, of course, that script has a happy ending. However, that’s not always what happens. When we are faced with a change in the script—whether that be a loss of a loved one, a dream, our health, or some other tragic event—how do we respond in faith? Retreat speaker and author Katrina J. Zeno wants us to have a heart of hope, one that presses into God and stays connected instead of drawing away during difficult times. Through personal stories, anecdotes, witnesses, and Scripture, Zeno invites women to recognize God’s goodness, presence, and action in their lives.--Each chapter ends with questions for reflection and discussion.--Great for women’s faith-sharing group or book club.--Makes a thoughtful gift for someone going through difficult times.“Theoretical explanations of the mystery of suffering often don’t suffice when someone is suffering. This book is filled with stories of pain, from the simple to the most profound losses.
