即使一切结束:了解风险并依然爱的灵性实践

Stephanie Duncan Smith | 2024 | ISBN: 0593727754 | English | 224 pages | ePUB | 2 MB

A “special work” (J. S. Park) that honors life’s deep griefs, great joys, and unsettled in-betweens through every sacred season, assuring us that we are never alone

“Oh, I love this book. . . . Honest and hopeful, masterfully written, both a balm and a bolstering.”—Shauna Niequist, New York Times bestselling author

Exquisitely told and urgently resonant, Even After Everything is a love letter to anyone who has opened their heart only to be hurt. Stephanie Duncan Smith proposes that it’s not through grit or forced resilience that you will find a way forward, but through receiving the full spectrum of our lives, just as we receive the empathy of God-with-us in every moment.

Duncan Smith’s disorientation began when she lost her first pregnancy on the winter solstice, just as the world readied to celebrate its most historic birth on Christmas. Then a new yet uncertain pregnancy unfolded parallel to the pandemic, until nearly one year to the day of her loss, she gave birth to her daughter at the peak of mortality in their city. These contradictions compelled Duncan Smith into a desperate search for steadiness, which she found in the liturgical year as a grounding force and the promise that we are seen by God in every season.

In Even After Everything, Duncan Smith traverses the church’s circle of time and reorients herself and us in the sacred story told through Advent, Epiphany, Lent, Holy Week, and Ordinary Time. She reveals the sacred year—through its endless interplay of love, loss, risk, and resurrection—as a mirror to the human experience, an anchor for turbulent times, and a womb strong enough to encompass every human care. At its heart lives the promise of God-with-us, inviting us into the spiritual practice of taking courage in the trust that we are accompanied in everything, and love will always have the last word.


一本“特殊工作”(J.S. Park)颂扬了生命中的深重悲痛、巨大快乐以及未解之谜,通过每个神圣的季节保证我们从不孤单。

“我爱这本书……真诚而充满希望,写得十分出色,既是治愈良药也是支持。”——畅销书作者Shauna Niequist

《无论发生什么》(Even After Everything)精彩叙述且紧迫相关。它是一部献给那些曾经敞开心灵却遭到伤害者的爱的信函。史蒂芬妮·丹尼斯·史密斯提出,找到前进之路不是通过咬牙或强迫自己变得坚韧不拔,而是通过接收到我们生活中的全部光谱,就像在每一个时刻我们都接收到上帝的同情。

丹尼斯·史密斯内心的混乱始于她第一个怀孕在冬至丢失的时候,那时世界正准备庆祝最具有历史意义的出生——圣诞节。然后,在疫情肆虐之时,另一个不确定性的怀孕展开,并在她失去那一年几乎相同的日期那天生下了她的女儿,那时他们的城市正处于死亡的高峰。这些矛盾促使丹尼斯·史密斯陷入了绝望地寻求稳定,她在圣日历作为支持力量让她找到了这一点,并相信上帝会在每一个季节看见我们。

《无论发生什么》中,丹尼斯·史密斯穿越了教会的时间圆圈并重新定位自己和我们在安息期、显明节、斋戒周、复活节与寻常时间所讲述的神圣故事。她展示了这一神圣的一年——通过它的无尽互动中的爱、失去、冒险以及复活作为人类经验的镜子,动荡时代的锚以及能包容一切人间关怀的子宫。它的心里住着上帝在我们身边的保证,邀请我们在信任上一切都有上帝陪伴的灵性实践中找到勇气,并且爱总会拥有最终的话语。
