Through Storms and Still Waters: Finding Union with Christ in Suffering

“My dear sisters, the Lord has granted us a great gift in Megan Madden as a guide and author. As she encourages us with her words and her anecdotes and her own personal testimony, may we trust the Lord. May we trust his love for us. May we trust the Lord in the deserts, believing that it is in the ordinary and the day-to-day and the deserts that he comes and espouses himself to each of us. 

May the Blessed Mother encourage all of us and strengthen us by her prayers. Amen.”

–Fr. Mark-Mary Ames, CFR

Union with Jesus in the sufferings and the joys of life is possible.

Megan Madden in Through Storms and Still Waters vulnerably shares the story of her deep and intimate journey with Christ through sufferings and blessings. From the immense pains like 

• moving to a new area
• miscarriage
• disruption of plans
• uncertainty about the future
• sickness
• being misunderstood by others

to the beautiful joys of new beginnings, Megan offers a window into her Christ-like suffering and joy in God’s providential ways that will captivate, encourage, and inspire readers. 

With personal stories, poetic reflections, Scriptural imagery, and profound takeaways for the reader, Megan shares her story as one friend to another–woman to woman, bride of Christ to bride of Christ.

Readers will walk away with invaluable wisdom about

• unifying all elements of life to Jesus
• living the call to “offer up” sufferings and joys, and 
• embracing union with Christ.

The world is filled with sufferings like a raging storm and peace like the still water on a lake, and through it all Christ remains.

“Storms will arise, winds will blow, darkness will fall, and frost will come, but where there are many dangers from the elements is the place where the heroine within us can arise. Only one question remains: Will we be faithful to the work necessary to tend a garden that blossoms and consoles the heart of Jesus on the Holy Cross?”
