About This Book:
Addressing the current period of flux and change that we find ourselves in, economically, socially and personally, Ruth shows the path to awakening belief, pointing to some of the timeless truths from the storylines of yesterday that can nurture our spirituality in this present in-between time and link us to the tomorrow of that new creation, towards which everything is reaching. In this way Ruth hopes that we can be the bridge ’between the times.
What Others Say:
‘This is an excellent book for our day when so many things are being questioned. It highlights how a crisis time can be a pruning so that we can bear more fruit. The book points to the emergence of new life and a rediscovery of hope’
Jean Vanier, founder of L’Arche and Faith and Light
‘The Rev Ruth Patterson invites the reader to see and to know something of Jesus in and through all that life brings, and to know ultimately “that he has called us, he has chosen us and we are his beloved – now and now and now”.’
Dame Nuala O’Loan, former Police Ombudsman of Northern Ireland
‘Looking Back to Tomorrow is a book for our times. Many face loss and fear the future. Here Ruth Patterson builds a robust spirituality to sustain us through such uncertainty. Using the stories of the Bible to provide a perspective on twenty-first-century life, Ruth shows us that the ultimate reality is God’s unconditional love for us in Jesus Christ. This book is a much needed “soul friend” for this difficult part of the journey.’
Trevor Williams, Church of Ireland Bishop of Limerick and Killaloe.
