Turn My Mourning into Dancing: Finding Hope During Hard Times

Let God move you through your suffering—whatever form it takes—and into the joy of dancing, moment by moment in the shelter of His grace.

This deeply comforting, inherently realistic book, gleaned from the unpublished writings and presentations of the beloved author and lecturer Henri Nouwen, focuses not on how we can survive hard times but on how we can live fully in the midst of them and beyond.

Drawn from the deep well of Nouwen's experience as a devoted pastor, a teacher, and a spiritual thinker, Turn My Mourning Into Dancing offers solace without platitudes. Ever practical, never simplistic, or condescending, this volume gently points the way toward a way of life grounded in God's constancy and rooted in eternal hope—the kind of living where we can dance even in the middle of the darkest night.
