Publisher's Synopsis
Praise for The Seasons of a Restless Heart
"Debra Farrington has done a beautiful job of Christian interpretation by building a bridge between the ancient stories of the Exodus and our contemporary experiences of transition. She shares most eloquently what she has learned from others, and more importantly, what she has experienced personally. Her words will both enlighten and inspire."
John R. Claypool, Episcopal priest and author, The Hopeful Heart
"Debra Farrington has always been a deeply practical, realistic, and honest writer whose work is companionable and full of stories. In The Seasons of a Restless Heart she is all these things and much, much more. In ′the time between ending and beginning,′ Farrington finds the poetry as well as the agony of change; she allays our fears and charms our spirits back to faith, hope, and yes to charity."
Phyllis Tickle, compiler, The Divine Hours
"In this daring and hopeful work Debra Farrington illumines how to live into the arduous task of transition so that ′we stand a better chance of being closer to God when we reach the end.′ . . . {It is} an extended prayer for the journeys of all in transition. Reminding us that we are God′s beloved, she offers footholds to guide us through the murky in–between times. This book is beautiful, hopeful, and caressing."
Anne E. Kitch, Canon for Christian Formation, Cathedral Church of the Nativity, and author, The Anglican Family Prayer Book
"It′s all here. The doubts, the hesitations, the fears, even the excitement that mark the small and large transitions of our lives. Farrington provids a helpful tool for readers as they learn to celebrate what was, live meaningfully through the uncertainties of the present, and move into a healthy and whole future."
Linda Post Bushkofsky, executive director, Women of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America
