Bøger af Sheila Cassidy

Good Friday People is a profoundly honest and moving book, a book that looks unflinchingly at the reality of suffering. Following the journey of Jesus towards the Cross, Sheila Cassidy encourages us to walk alongside him and alongside her 'Good Friday people' - a motley group of saints and sinners mysteriously called to share the suffering of Christ. Some them are victims of violence like Archbishop Romero and other caught up in oppression in El Salvador; Victor Jara who was tortured and killed in Chile; the people of Auschwitz. Other suffer physical illness like Fr Jimmy Doherty, a priest with multiple sclerosis; David, a boy with a brain tumour, and Suzi Lovegrove, a woman with AIDS. Sheila Cassidy invites us to share the pain of her Good Friday people, and so to share more deeply in Jesus' story. It is a difficult, often harrowing, journey, but one which takes us beyond the Cross, helping us to meet the risen Christ who is 'permeating the suffering, suffusing the darkness'.

In short chapters suitable for individual reading or group study, and questions for meditation and reflection, Sheila Cassidy considers the word 'LENT' as an acronym for what it really means to live as a Christian today: L is for LOVE. E is for EMPATHY. N is quite simply for NO! T is for THANK YOU GOD.

The moving story of Sheila Cassidy, who as a young doctor went to work in Chile and became caught in the terrible injustice of the country - injustice which led to her own arrest, imprisonment, torture and expulsion.
