A leading theologian recounts her journey of faith, shaped as it has been by caring for a profoundly disabled son for forty-five years, while also being a writer, university teacher and Methodist minister.

This completely new version of the author's Face to Face (Epworth, 1985) has a different perspective, articulating the way in which this life-dominating experience has given privileged access to the deepest truths of Christianity.

The book therefore combines narrative with theological reflection. The narratives provide background for developing theological accounts of cross and creation, as well as testifying to personal feelings and spiritual insights.

Written by one of the world's most distinguished theologians and spiritual writers, here is a book full of hope and help for all who struggle with faith in the face of unremitting suffering.

Industry Reviews

In this long awaited book, key themes from Frances Young's earlier work - motherhood, suffering, disability, meaning and love - re-emerge in a richer and deeper melody. The cries of anguish and "why?" are taken up into a new-found trust and joy. She draws us into the beauty and strength of a love which faces all the challenges and yet celebrates the wonder of Arthur's life and vocation. If you are someone grappling with the hard questions about God, life and things going wrong, this book is for you.', Deborah Ford, Hospital Chaplain at Cambridge University Hospitals 'This book isn't an easy read, but it has depth - a beauty about it that is remarkable and life-affirming.', Sue Atkinson, Church Times
