GOOD NEWS IN BAD TIMES

We need teaching today that gets beyond mere clichés and the predictable. Here is such guidance and such wisdom. This is true Good News, and nothing that merely feeds into our shame, fear, or guilt. RICHARD ROHR, O.F.M., Center for Action and Contemplation With humor, humility, and humanness, John Lozano shares stories and reflections that throw light on our spiritual struggles and our search for meaning. Some powerful witnesses and real Good News here. ROBERT F. MORNEAU, Bishop of Green Bay, Wisconsin John Lozano presents a compelling rendition of the content of his compelling preaching series. Fr. Michael Scanlan, TOR, Chancellor, Franciscan University of Steubenville Home foreclosures, job losses, sudden illnesses—crisis and tragedy surround us in our everyday lives. Some people shrink away from them, become depressed and pessimistic about life. Others become angry and turn away from religion. In his debut book, author John P. Lozano offers a different solution: Use crisis and uncertainty to grow in both faith and personal strength. In Good News in Bad Times, Lozano draws from his wealth of personal life experience, and from the lives of those he has met on his faith journey, to prove that with crisis comes opportunity—opportunity to open our eyes and arms to God’s strength. Written in an accessible style and designed for Christians of all denominations, this book will be a timeless companion for all readers wherever they may be on their own journeys of faith.
