Just Trust Life - Paperback

In this gritty memoir about tackling life's challenges with the promise of transcendence, Teilhardian scholar Christine M. Tracy illustrates how seemingly chance encounters with Teilhard's work catalyzed her emotional and spiritual expansion. To read Just Trust Life is to receive a download of Teilhard's mystical energy-his love as an evolutionary force. Yet this book is much more than a poetic and practical introduction to the life and teachings of this revered mystic. Through finely tuned scenes from Tracy's life, we learn what it means to be a "spiritual being having a human experience." As Teilhard's spirit accompanied her through struggles with addiction, infidelity, divorce, a house fire, and a near-death-experience, Tracy realizes that we are never alone-and we have the power to wake up. In this brisk read with a powerful takeaway that belongs on every nightstand, readers will discover Teilhard's promise: if one can "just trust life...life will bring you high."
