In this anthology, Chris Ahrends reflects on lessons drawn from his experiences as a priest, pastor and therapist in a range of community settings. Exploring trauma, violence and failure as experiences that few escape in our modern world, Chris suggests that these experiences can become paths on which we find ourselves and each other. These are the paths of a sacred awakening. This is a gentle book. A book packed with wisdom and searing honesty, a book to be savoured. A word of caution as you come to these quiet pages, just know that you will be transformed.
