Graham Ward invites us on a journey to discover how God’s love enfolds even our inner darkness. He recasts as a question the oft-quoted words of Jesus to Julian of Norwich, thus articulating a deep perplexity, familiar to anyone who confronts the realities of our human condition. Readers are not spared a truthful examination of the workings of sin, fear and shame, but the author sets these things in the context of our creation out of nothing and our life ultimately ‘hid with Christ in God’. This in turn leads to fresh understanding of the Cross and Passion of Christ, the depths of the redemption he offers, and the hope and freedom available to us.
