Bücher von Carla Grosch-Miller

This handbook is for ministers and lay leaders who are faced with leading an individual or a church community through a traumatic event and its aftermath. It helps churches to respond in a healthy way to the impact of tragedies, local and global, through training in good practice, careful reflection, and personal resilience.

After the deaths of her brother, father and mother, the poet and writer Carla Grosch Miller felt that her world and faith had fallen apart. Lifelines is the fruit of what followed. These searingly honest yet hopeful poems reflect on the mystery at the heart of Christian faith and the journey through death to resurrection.

These striking poems take the powerful themes of the Psalms and transpose them from a distant and ancient culture to a contemporary one with recognizable images and metaphors. Combining raw honesty with beauty and depth, they explore every human experience from rage at life's cruelty to joy at life's blessings.
