Blessings from the Fall: Turning a Fall From Grace Into a New Beginning

by Beverly Engel

A personal scandal can ruin your life. The shame caused by such a fall is usually powerful enough to change a person forever. This transformation can be positive or negative, depending on how one meets and copes with the challenge. Blessings from the Fall focuses on the positive, transformative powers of a fall from grace; how a personal crisis of the soul can cause individuals to re-evaluate, restructure and reinvent themselves as better, healthier, fuller human beings capable of greater love and compassion.
