Winner: 2013 Silver Illumination Award, 2014 Gold Readers' Favorite Award, and 2014 Bronze eLit Award Topical, deeply intimate and very readable, Year of Trial, Year of Grace: A Catholic's Search for Faith is an inspiring and provocative revelation of one person's spiritual journey. Written as a series of weekly reflections, it provides support and encouragement for anyone who has struggled with faith and acceptance in the face of life's challenges. Themes range from guilt and gossip to dreams and disappointment, from the Catholic priest scandal to the power of prayer, offering a contemporary perspective that both questions and proclaims the role of faith in everyday life, and in the cultivation of a more personal and practical relationship with God.
