“I am in awe of Merle Shain’s ability to make sense of the crazy things we do to ourselves. I learned much much and gained much from her book”.
-RABBI HAROLD KUSHNER, author of
When Bad Things Happen To Good People
Mele Shain on Anger: “Who is to say who did what to whom? I only know a lot of people hate those who failed them once, and hatong them hate themselves till anger becomes their defense and their sentence, their protest and their prayer.”
Merle Shain on Self-Healing: “Whatever the question is, love is the answer, yet somehow there is never enough. But there would be as much as we need and then some. You just have to give yourself.”
Merle Shain on Hope: “I think of hope as a way of healinh, a miracle cure – you ‘we justo to believe in it for it to work. And I think of hope as the stroke of grace that transcends all the pain, a kind of aurora borealis of the soul without which our hearts could never feast, or we become the selves we were meant to be.”
Like a wise and a compassionate friend, Merle Shain speaks to us from the heart – and helps us discover how we can overcome our emotional obstacles and open ourselves to love and change.
