Embracing Weakness: The Unlikely Secret to Changing the World explores how a radical acceptance of one's own shadow side can birth a more whole and merciful response to the weaknesses of others. Through examining the Incarnation and Passion of Jesus, as well as her own life experiences as a missionary, adoptive mother, and Catholic Worker activist, the author forms the argument that the greatest potential for social and relational change comes not through a demonstration of power, but through smallness, authenticity, and empathy.
In this book you will find:
Where we go wrong in our understanding of admitting weakness
How we effectively numb ourselves to avoid the hard work of conversion
What the Incarnation and Passion are really inviting us to do
What belonging means for us, and how weakness brings us together
How embracing weakness can transform our homes - and the world
If you're ready for a vibrant spiritual life overflowing with mercy - experienced and extended - read Embracing Weakness.
