This Beautiful Truth

FROM SARAH:

A work of deep courage in gorgeous prose. As she walks us through her very personal journey with OCD, Sarah Clarkson helps us see how our own pain, regardless of its source, can be overcome if we can simply allow ourselves to be immersed in the beauty of God. What kind of God, after all, would have given us a world suffused with beauty, with dancing buttercups and loving friends, with feasts spread before us and with the hopeful message of eternity, delivered in the incarnation? Only a loving God, who made us to create and to love and to hope in his image. This is a book for all seasons, all ages, all places.

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

In This Beautiful Truth, Sarah Clarkson shares her own encounters with beauty in the midst of her decade-long struggle with mental illness, depression, and doubt. In a voice both vulnerable and reflective, she paints a compelling picture of the God who reaches out to us in a real and powerful way through the "taste and see" goodness of what he has made and what he continues to create amid our darkness. "To recognize and trust God's gift in pain," she writes, "empowers us to create and love as powerful witnesses to God's healing love in a hopeless world."
