Eight Months at Mount Sinai is about one person's struggle with suffering and death. These are transparent reflections from someone who has dealt with the subject in the pulpit, the lectern, and life. Some of the reflections are not easy to read. They are gritty and earthy, but they are also honest offerings from one who has suffered in body and soul. The topics of mortality, suffering, loss of identity, sacrifice, loneliness, heartbreak, hospitality, the death of hope, the grace of God, and the persistence of faith are all covered. The resiliency of the human spirit and the profound mystery of God also shine through. The reader will also encounter hope as seen in the way communities of faith, communities of healing, and family all come alongside one journeying through the profundity of human pain. This book is for those who are suffering or have suffered, as well as those who have faithfully accompanied a sufferer on a lonely journey. Readers will not find platitudes here but may just find a voice that understands.
