Author Description

Disaster can bring new growth. Despair can bring hope. Our darkest moments can be a source of unexpected blessing. Human experience is made up of contradictions, none greater than the central Christian paradox of life in death. In this prophetic book Charles Elliott, winner of the 1985 Collins Religious Book Award, Anglican priest and author, explores the ambiguities inherent in our humanity. With compassion and an understanding that is deeply rooted in reality, he shows how we can create a new vision of ourselves and the world around us if we accept the paradox - and the potential - of our condition.
