Paula Ripple's "Walking with Loneliness"

Paula Ripple's Walking with Loneliness is a book I borrowed from Group (Hospice) and so far this is looking like a really wonderful book ... sure speaks to me.

Loneliness has been such a challenge ... and can be confidently anticipated to stay a hell of a challenge for me. Ripple takes Loneliness and ... like the Cross ... delves deeply to find a Redemptive side that looks very promising indeed.

Solus ... Loneliness ... Alone into the Alone ... Alone with Christ in Gethsemani ... Alone with Christ in His Holy Saturday Tomb ... there is so much here to fuel a view of Loneliness as a means of Grace as well as of Suffering.
