After his failed suicide attempt and rescue by a compassionate stranger, he is forced to face up to the man he has become – a far cry from the man he wants to be.

This is the story of how heaven and earth overlap. Of how God waits, patiently and earnestly, in many guises, for his sons and daughters to lift the veil of unawareness and receive his grace. Of how, out of the depths of despair, God can bring healing and hope to a couple who thought all was lost.

Woordeloos tot Verhaal
0R440,00Trauma behels in Woordeloos tot verhaal die oorweldigende effekte van geweld op die indiwidu sowel as die kollektiewe verlies van betekenis by die ineenstorting van ‘n bekende wereld. Die artikels fokus egter nie alleen op die duister kant van die menslike natuur en van die menslike geskiedenis nie, maar verken ook die helende kragte wat die verwerking van trauma moontlik maak. Van wesentlike belang in dia verband is die skeppende krag van die menslike gees wat die woordloosheid as gevolg van ‘n oorweldigende trauma kan transformeer tot betekenisgewende verhaal. Woordeloos tot verhaal is in menig opzicht een baanbrekend werk. Het brengt 24 onderzoekers uit verschillende disciplines bij elkaar om vanuit een scala van perspectieven helderheid te verschaffen over het trauma als centraal gegeven in de menselijke samenleving. Nieuw is tevens de samenwerking tussen Afrikaanstalige en Nederlandstalige auteurs. Zij hebben elkaar gevonden vanuit een gemeenschappelijke belangstelling en werden gestimuleerd door de verwantschap tussen hun talen.
