Description
In A Song for the Way Ben Harrison shares reflections and insights gained over a long and varied life. His story moves from growing up in the Shenandoah Valley, to compulsory military service, to years as a semi-vagabond, to entering Mother Teresa’s Missionaries of Charity. For nearly 50 years most of his ministry has been with prisoners, homeless people, and addicts. He shares his struggles and his learnings – about the journey of faith, the appeal of monasticism, the vocational search, spiritual growth, and recovery, the personal relationship with the Lord.
He has chosen to tell his story because he has found that, mysteriously, the expression of faith deepens faith and the gesture of love strengthens love. We follow the pattern set by God himself, whose tenderness abounds and overflows in Jesus, the Song of God; and then flows forth forever as a spring of living silence, a Sigh of love.
