Elie Kaplan Spitz: HEALING FROM DESPAIR: CHOOSING WHOLENESS IN A BROKEN WORLD
Despair can lead to a dark, lonely place where we are completely overwhelmed and deeply depressed. But within this misery, we may discover that we possess the power to choose--to move toward healing, to listen to a message of hope, to create our true identity and to find goodness in our lives. HEALING FROM DESPAIR is a book of hope and comfort, a wise exploration of personal suffering and the potential for personal crisis to be a source of strength and renewal. Through the personal journeys of biblical and historical figures such as Moses, Maimonides, Abraham Lincoln, and Martin Buber, as well as his own harrowing experience with depression, Rabbi Elie Spitz looks at brokenness as an inescapable element of the human condition that can progress from desperation to healing, that moment when knowledge of suffering can be transformed into blessing.
