This War Is the Passion Paperback – April 1, 2008

We too have been in prolonged war,full of anxiety,sorrow,and deprivation. Christ in His humanity showed us how to cope with these unpleasant changes through His life ,death and Resurrection. Houselander,a woman, an artist and mystic writes in plain English using examples of every day happenings. She is most noted for seeing Christ in those around us. We cannot know the outcome to war but we can be on a path to eternal life, which is the goal for all Christians. If you like C. S. Lewis writings you will see the comparison in style ,rhetoric,and theology.

I wish I knew about Caryll Houselander years ago. This is the second book of hers that I have read and will surely get another.

If you suffer in life you will love this book. Caryll Houselander's words touch to the heart. She had a deep understanding of the Passion of Christ during her time of suffering in the war, but she also applies it to everyday suffering to everyone who is a Christian struggling to carry their crosses in this world. I highley recommend this book to everyone!!God bless
