The Way of Grace

Finding God on the Path of Surrender

by Glandion Carney

”No matter how old you are or how many degrees you have or don’t have — when grace takes you to school, you start in kindergarten.”

This was the experience of Glandion Carney when he was given the life-altering news that he has Parkinson’s disease. He was plunged into denial and despair. This was not supposed to be his journey. How could he face it?

With poignant vulnerability, The Way of Grace describes one man’s journey into a new land of God’s amazing grace. Both his honesty and his resilience will inspire and inform your own times of difficulty.

In each chapter we are introduced to a spiritual practice that can carry us through difficult days: acceptance, relinquishment, community, simplicity and more. And a guide at the end of each chapter carries us into a brief and refreshing experience with each of the practices.

God’s unmerited grace saves us, strengthens us and sanctifies us. We too can experience lives full of grace and truth, courageously searching out God’s wonders every day.

Glandion Carney's The Way of Grace is a gift from the heart of one of the very best spiritual directors I have ever known. For some, receiving the dreaded diagnosis of Parkinson's would be a death knell, but for my friend Glandion, it became the occasion to ring a different bell, and to mine his own soul for lessons of grace.
