Pearls of Comfort: Experiencing Divine and Human Comfort at the End of Life (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798385223121)

Pearls are formed through time and under pressure. Likewise, the comfort described here arises over time and under the inevitable pressure of recognising and coping with our mortality. Drawing on her deep roots in practical theology, Martina Holder-Franz invites us into a space where the ordinary becomes extraordinary--where prayer, scripture, relationships, and even simple artefacts serve as vessels of divine comfort. Her ability to weave together biblical exegesis, theological reflection, and phenomenological research is a testament to her skill as a scholar and her compassion as a minister. The insights she offers are as thought-provoking as they are deeply moving, shedding new light on the theology of comfort. This book is more than an academic achievement; it is a labour of love, born out of decades of pastoral care and personal reflection.
