Goodfriday: Chaos Conflict is a Gift

Publisher Marketing: Grief over the loss of a loved one, divorce when you were not the one ready to let go of the relationship, loss of a job and despair over your financial situation are just some of the blows that life dishes out. And it is in moments like these, when no divine answers seem to be forthcoming that we can lose ourselves in utter despair over the future. And when we may feel angry at the unfairness of it all, and question life and its meaning. In GoodFriday, we are invited to explore the writings of Jim Talentino. A man who has done and seen it all, and who, through a combination of spiritual enlightenment and grounded life lessons - learned as a priest, an ice hockey star and a teacher - challenges us to embrace it all as a necessary, yet painful, step in our journeys to inner spiritual awakening. In this wealth of writing, a legacy left behind over twenty years ago, we are invited to tap into the wisdom that he found within himself as he faced excommunication and banishment from his church, his family and his job. It was his hope that we might weigh his answers for ourselves when we reflect on our own trials. This is not a book of answers, but rather an offering of new perspectives that we are invited to evaluate in our own journey as we search for meaning and purpose. The ideas put forward may change everything you thought you ever knew to be true and it is hoped, will provide a measure of peace on your path. GoodFriday is the second instalment in a three-part series published by the ButterflyFree Project. Other books in this series include: ButterflyFree (Part 1) Nipples to the Skye (Part 3)
