Publisher's Synopsis
Whatever is said about the "caring, sharing 90s", we continue to measure our worth by our successes, strengths and our achievements. We are embarrassed by people who fail, or who say they cannot cope. Wanda Nash puts forward the idea that our real worth as human beings is found in this vulnerability and our real gains are only to be found in our losses.;In 52 short, practical sections, each one appended by a page or two of meditative texts from the bible and spiritual writers, Wanda Nash encourages us to "turn the downside up" and to ask what success and failure really mean when viewed from God's perspective. Deliberately avoiding religious jargon, this book should appeal to Christian and non-Christian readers alike.
