A Thousand Hands But One: How GOD Prepared a CATHOLIC Chaplain For the Surrender She Never Expected - Paperback

What happens when the hands that once comforted thousands can no longer reach the one they love most?

For years, Catholic hospital chaplain Laura Riccardi walked beside the sick, the dying, and their families-offering prayer, compassion, and the healing presence of Christ during life's most difficult moments. She believed she understood suffering.

Then, during the covid-19 pandemic, her beloved husband, Len, was hospitalized.

Separated by rigid hospital policies that kept loved ones from the bedside, Laura faced the greatest trial of her life. The lessons God had quietly taught her through years of ministering to others would now become the foundation of her own journey through grief, surrender, and hope.

A Thousand Hands But One is a deeply moving Christian memoir about faith tested in suffering, the mystery of redemptive love, and learning to trust God's providence when His plan is beyond our understanding. Through unforgettable stories of patients, families, and her own personal loss, Laura reveals how God can transform even our darkest moments into opportunities for grace.

Filled with wisdom, compassion, Scripture, and heartfelt reflection, this inspiring memoir offers encouragement to anyone who has experienced loss, walked beside a loved one in illness, questioned God's plan, or searched for hope in the midst of suffering.

A Thousand Hands But One reminds us that when human hands can no longer hold us, God's hands never let go.

Ideal for readers of inspirational Christian memoirs, Catholic spirituality, grief support, and stories of enduring faith.
