From Seattle Pacific University Response Magazine:
Emilie Griffin reviewing "The Grace of Aridity and Other Comedies" by Kathleen Norris
"If grace is so wonderful, why do we have such difficulty recognizing and accepting it! Maybe it's because grace is not gentle or made to order. It often comes disguised as loss, or failure, or unwelcome change."
Unpleasant times...can become not just moments of misery but also times of understanding and reflection. Find the hidden grace in crises, in emergency, in loss. Adversity gets our attention. Somehow it makes us more creative, sharpens our vision, our hearing, our gift of interpretation. In lean times, we understand fully our dependence on God...."
