How do you find hope in hard times? Why is it important to have hope during difficult times? Turn My Mourning into Dancing will help you survive the difficult seasons and learn how to live a full life in the midst of them and beyond. With practical advice, Henri Nouwen will gently point you towards a way of life that is grounded in God's constancy and rooted within eternal hope. In this updated edition, Turn My Mourning into Dancing discusses five movements we experience during hard times: from our little selves to a larger world; from holding tight to letting go; from fatalism to hope; from manipulation to love; and from a fearful death to a joyous life. Healing begins with taking our pain out of its diabolic isolation and seeing our sufferings in communion with all humanity, and all creation. Nouwen teaches us that our little lives participate in something much larger. Everyone grieves differently. It is a process, not a science experiment. Mourning shouldn't last forever.
