Description
In Still Point: Loss, Longing and Our Search for God Franciscan University professor, popular speaker, and prolific author Regis Martin tells how the deaths of his mother and brother pushed him to revisit all he knew and felt about God and his own deepest desires—and how he came to reconcile the theology he teaches with the lived experience of faith.
Drawing on insights from Christian writers like Lewis, Hopkins, Chesterton, and Eliot, Martin explores the questions at the heart of all human longing: What does it mean to really be lost? What if God doesn’t want us after all? What does Christ’s cry from the cross say about human suffering? Why is it never hopeless to hope?

“Will not fail to move you and shake you.”
“Regis Martin probes the deepest wounds we suffer—loss and longing—and presents us with our hope for healing. While we ache, we are 'alive with longing.' This book is as haunting and hypnotic as the poetry on which it depends. Martin applies the 'poetry of the transcendent' as a balm, the first dose in the course of a cure. You will not forget the stories he tells you. His reading of familiar biblical passages will not fail to move you and shake you.”
