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.

About the Author

Glandion Carney

Glan­dion was, until a few years ago, an asso­ciate pas­tor at St. Peter’s Angli­can Church in Birm­ing­ham, Alaba­ma. He came to Christ in the inner city 40 years ago and still main­tains a rela­tion­ship with the per­son who led him to Christ. He is pas­sion­ate about per­son­al evan­ge­lism and cites the work of Richard Foster’s Cel­e­bra­tion of Dis­ci­pline as a key to his spir­i­tu­al growth. He has spent his life try­ing to nur­ture oth­ers with­in the church and help­ing them grow in their faith through trans­for­ma­tion prin­ci­ples. He and his wife Mar­i­on have 4 chil­dren and 8 grandchildren.
