When a young pastor's wife and mother of three children inexplicably began to go deaf at the age of 26, her faith floundered. Sharing her story of failure and doubt with startling honesty, Diane Comer writes to every woman who longs to be drawn into intimacy with a God who Speaks in the Silence.
This book explores contemporary migration to New Zealand through an examination of 200 personal essays written by 37 migrants from 20 different countries, spanning all ages and life stages. The first book to examine migration through the lens of the personal essay, The Braided River presents migration as a lifelong experience that affects everything from language, home, work, family, and friendship to finances, citizenship, and social benefits. Throughout, Diane Comer, both migrant and essayist herself, demonstrates the versatility of the personal essay as a means to analyze and understand migration, an issue with increasing relevance worldwide.
Erst der plötzliche Verlust ihres Gehörs sorgte bei Diane Comer dafür, Gott in einer nie gekannten Art und Weise zu begegnen. In ihrem Buch schreibt sie über die beängstigende Zeit, in der ihre Welt für immer in Stille zu versinken schien - und wie ihr das Wunder und die Gnade zuteilwurden, inmitten dieser Stille Gottes Reden zu hören. Die Jahre der Gehörlosigkeit sind heute dank eines Implantats vorbei. Doch die Ausrichtung auf Gott prägt nach wie vor ihren Alltag. Eine beeindruckende wahre Geschichte.
