Item Description...
Tilda Norberg opens Ashes Transformed with the statement that we are a world of terrorized and traumatized people. National studies confirm her assessment that many people have endured an emotional and spiritual storm since September 11, 2001. We need healing from personal and national trauma. Ashes Transformed offers readers ways to open to God's healing activity. Ashes Transformed witnesses to the power of God to heal even the worst tragedies, including the pain and grief that disrupted our lives one September day. The heart of this book is a collection of over forty stories--astonishing, poignant, and ordinary--told by persons who experienced God's presence in connection with the September 11 attacks. These true stories include a wide range of faith responses from people as varied as a firefighter, a massage therapist, a banker, an unemployed carpenter, a comedian, a theology professor, a Muslim prisoner, and a five-year-old child. Each story is accompanied by prayer and journaling suggestions that will remind us that God is faithful. Again and again, these stories bear out that suffering is the birthplace of faith and encourage us to look beyond tragedy to the victory of Christian transformation and resurrection. Ashes Transformed is written for anyone searching for God's healing touch, but it is especially a rich resource for pastoral care professionals, spiritual directors, counselors, therapists, and others involved in healing ministries. |

| When the events of September 11, 2001 occurred, the nation went into shock. The need was immediate for emergency intervention to save human life, but the emergency stretched far beyond ground zero. Rev. Tilda Norberg made herself available immediately to help victims and families through this horror by sharing God's healing love with them in whatever way their spirits needed. ASHES TRANSFORMED: Healing from Trauma shows us many ways in which God's healing love was active before, during, and after the horror of 9/11. Tilda provides a gentle experience of divine intervention that should not be overlooked. | | | | Transformative writing Apr 2, 2004 |
