About the Book

How do you find hope in hard times? Learn not only how to survive the difficult seasons, but to live a full life in the midst of them and beyond. Grounded in God's constancy and rooted in eternal hope, Nouwen guides you towards the kind of life that you can dance to—even through the darkest night.

Deeply comforting and profoundly realistic, Turn My Mourning into Dancing discusses five movements we experience during hard times:

  • From Our Little Selves to a Larger World
  • From Holding Tight to Letting Go
  • From Fatalism to Hope
  • From Manipulation to Love
  • From a Fearful Death to a Joyous Life

Healing begins with taking our pain out of its toxic isolation and seeing our sufferings in communion with all humanity, and all creation. Nouwen teaches us that our lives participate in something much larger. Turn My Mourning into Dancing is a must read for:

  • Those seeking growth and insight on the struggles of life
  • Anyone going through the grief process and searching for real solutions
  • Those who have experienced a loss, betrayal, or hard times

Everyone grieves differently. It is a process, not a science experiment. Mourning shouldn’t last forever. Do you want the kind of life that allows you to dance even in the middle of the darkest night? Get the answers and find hope within your hard times.
