<p>In&nbsp;<em>Glimpsing Resurrection</em>, Deanna A. Thompson combines recent trauma research with compelling first-person narrative to provide insight into the traumatic dimensions of living with a serious illness. Her aim is to help those who are ill and those who care for and minister to them deepen their understanding of how best to offer support.</p><p>&ldquo;The tendency for Christians to move almost immediately from death to proclamations of new life risks alienating those for whom healing and new life seem out of reach,&rdquo; says Thompson. Glimpsing Resurrection focuses less on the &ldquo;why&rdquo; to help readers instead come to terms with the &ldquo;how&rdquo; of living with a serious disease. In particular, Thompson provides a framework and concrete suggestions for how to be a church where those who are undone by illness can be undone, as well as a place that can love and support them to hope.</p><p>&ldquo;Finding space within the psalms, the story of Job, Jesus&rsquo; cry of God-forsakenness on the cross, and even Christ&rsquo;s descent into hell helps us imagine how Christian communities can be spacious enough to acknowledge and hold those who are undone by illness,&rdquo; Thompson says. &ldquo;Only then does it become possible to identify the hope that can emerge from our not-yet-resurrection reality to imagine more in life today as well as in the life to come.&rdquo;</p>
