IN THE SHELTER FINDING A HOME IN THE WORLD

2016, GOOD+ PAPERBACK, LIGHT WEAR TO COVER & EDGES HODDER & STOUGHTON CANADA [TUAMA, PADRAIG O] FINDING A HOME IN THE WORLD

From Publisher:

It is in the shelter of each other that the people live.

Drawing on this Irish saying, poet, storyteller and theologian P draig Tuama relates ideas of shelter and welcome to journeys of life, using poetry, story, biblical refelction and prose to open up gentle ways of living well in a troubled world.

The fourth gospel tells of Jesus arriving in the room where the disciples are gathered, full of fear, on Easter Sunday. He does not chide or admonish; instead he says 'Peace be with you', which, in the Aramaic of his day, was simply a greeting. To people locked in a room of fear he said 'Hello, ' welcoming them to a place of deep encounter: encounter with themselves, with their fear, with each other and with the incarnate one in their midst.

Interweaving everyday stories with narrative theology, gospel reflections with mindfulness and Celtic spirituality with poetry, In the Shelter reveals the transformational power of welcome.
