Bøger af Rob Gieselmann

In "A Walk through the Churchyard," Episcopal priest Rob Gieselmann explores stories of death, and the beautiful yet painful intimacy associated with these stories, in a way that brings sense to his own wife's, Laura's, premature death that left him as a single father of two young children.The intent of this little book is to demystify death, and to offer a Christian spiritual sense of the event of death. In our society, people do not like to talk about death, but Rob hits death straight-on, refusing to temper its sharp edges or hide from its dark grip."I am so grateful when emotionally gifted and highly intelligent people like Rob Gieselmann share their intimate experiences and understanding of death, from a Christian perspective. His work so diminishes one's sense of being alone and lost in this most private of all human realms." - Anne Lamott, author of "Traveling Mercies: Some thoughts on Faith" "'My suffering has become a spiritual lifeblood. I see in ways I did not see before." So writes Rob Gieselmann as he allows you the reader to join him as he intensely reflects on his life and death experience years after the sudden death of his wife Laura. When you read this little booklet and allow yourself to enter into his very personal and honest and at times, emotionally raw moments of insight, you may with him see "death's victory an illusion."'- The Rt. Rev. Charles L. Longest, D.D., Episcopal Bishop, ret'd, Dioceses of Maryland and Easton
