When Life Hurts: Comforting Reflections for Our Troubled Moments

Andrew M. Greeley, one of the most renowned authors and lecturers of our day, here turns his attention to a variety of the trials and frustrations that we all too often encounter in these hectic, pressure-filled times.

These essays on nearly fifty themes address our fears, hang-ups, and worries, providing commonsense advice, consolation, and encouragement. In his inimitable fashion, Greeley blends the wisdom of the Scriptures with his own down-to-earth and uplifting insights. Anyone involved in the frequently harried and painful business of living—indeed, everyone—will find their true solace for those moments when life hurts.

“I can heartily endorse this wo . . . Greeley deals not only with sorrow, but offers truly comforting reflections of other troubled moments, for our frustration, our physical and mental pain, for our hopelessness and despair.”—Morton Kelsey
