When Betty Skinner was 42, her doctor told her, "You have a hole in your soul." In the 50 years that followed, Betty, now in her 90s, clinging only to her faith and a glimmer of hope, journeyed from desperate clinical depression to wholeness and profound wisdom well before anti-depressants and mindfulness were mainstream. Emerging science now affirms that the organic path Betty traveled has the power to heal the broken body, mind, and spirit. With utter vulnerability and the beautiful view of hindsight, she reaches back with joy to offer her spiritual friendship and powerful encouragement to those of us still struggling on our own journey to the higher places. Excerpt"Hope, for many years of my spiritual journey, was overshadowed by faith and love. Love's relentless wooing had won me with its unspeakable beauty, mystery, and grace. Faith became the 'yes' within me on which I slowly began to stake my whole life, while hope remained invisible and elusive. Faith and love built my self-confidence until I broke inside, then faith began to fade and love dimmed. It was in my despair that I met hope. It had been resting in the shadows between faith and love. It was in the suffering, wounded, and broken places of my life that hope began to come out of the shadows and bring me to wholeness. It was in the emptiness and stillness between faith and love, in the hollow of a heart carved out by despair, that hope took hold. What I realized on that unforgettable day was that hope had always lingered in the shadows of my darkest times. What awakened within me was that precisely when faith crumbles and love dims, hope begins."
