I was driving in my car yesterday and was listening to the Tavis Smiley Show. He was interviewing a number of sucessful women in honor of Women's History Month. Included in the list of women was Dr. Serene Jones, President of Union Theological Seminary in New York City. She was talking about her new book Trauma and Grace. I recently purchased this book, so was excited to here her talk about it. This book sounds very good, and I think that at least one student needs to write their research paper on it.
In essence, the book talks about God's grace in the midst of trauma (hence the title, Trauma and Grace!). This sounds like a very integrative book. Jones develops a theology that takes very seriously the trauma that humans experience in life. So, check it out!
Peace,
