Walking In Valleys of Darkness: a Benedictine Journey Through Troubled Times by Albert Holtz

Benedictine monk Fr. Albert Holtz invites the reader to walk with him through five periods of pain and difficulty in his own life, including being diagnosed with cancer and dealing with the death of his brother. In a series of twenty-four meditations, the author shows how insights behind such New Testament words as courage, compassion, and trust became a source of practical help and spiritual strength for him during those difficult times. His down-to-earth reflections can do the same for anyone trying to understand how the mystery of Christ's Passion, death and resurrection can help us to cope with and even profit from life's inevitable struggles and sufferings.
