WRESTLING WITH GIANTS
- or stories of hope and faith for all who struggle
Edited by John Young. Hodder & Stoughton. 116 pages. £4.99
ISBN 0 340 75681 0

This book is described as a resource for living in the 'real' world and the title is taken from the account of Jacob wrestling with God. The front cover is strikingly graphic.

John Young, a canon of York Minster, has edited a book of five personal testimonies of Christians who faced trauma and trials common to many and how, through the use of Scripture and lessons learnt along the way, they were eased through their dark tunnel. The chapters cover 'Living with panic attacks' . . . 'disability' . . . 'cancer' . . . 'bereavement', and finally 'Living with depression', when John Young shares his own experiences.
