This is an automatically translated description

When life has brought you to your knees, the only thing that can help is prayer. Despair has many faces: a drug addict who has hit rock bottom; an unemployed person who wonders where to get a piece of bread; parents who do not know how to cure their only child; a person who seems to have everything, but whose soul is struck by fear, guilt or shame. There are many options. When we are in trouble, we know that we need help, but we are afraid to let anyone, especially God, witness our powerlessness.

In the book Holy Despair, Heather King shows us that when we are broken, this is the moment to invite God into our lives. The author tells us how to pray when we are not sure that God exists, or when we feel that we are beyond God's reach. Heather King is convinced that not only saints can pray, that prayer can take us beyond ourselves and lead us to a life of purpose that will benefit us and those around us.

Heather King's book “Holy Despair” was recognised by the Catholic Publishers Association as the best book of 2018.
