Catherine a Engel

Falling into the Abyss Catherine a Engel

What do you do when life hands you lemons? This helpful book describes the kinds of gifts that come from allowing Love to work through us rather than approaching every dark time as an obstacle. The darkness that we all experience can be a gateway to enormous spiritual and emotional growth if we are willing to do the necessary work. What had seemed like failure can be the creation of something new and beautiful, but we must learn how to accept what is, and then move on from there. The abyss can mean many things. It can be the deep inner self where all the emotional traumas of the past are stored, which may seem scary until we deal with them and eventually let them go. But it can also mean our very soul itself, which is unlimited and spacious, and this abyss leads us to God. This place of eternal love is enormously welcoming and expansive. Catherine A. Engel speaks from her personal experience with illness and disappointments; she discovered while recovering from a difficult accident that God may just be using the path of suffering to lead us to greater love and compassion. Anyone who is struggling to make sense of life while dealing with anger, resentment, or unforgiveness can grow through their hard times to a new life of acceptance and even joy.
