Download or read book What We Wish Were True written by Tallu Schuyler Quinn and published by Convergent Books. This book was released on 2022-04-19 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Facing death is the hardest thing of all, and Tallu Quinn faces hers in a way that broke and healed my heart. This book is a beautiful tribute to life, to truth, and to love.”—Glennon Doyle, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Untamed Profound essays on nurturing life while facing a terminal diagnosis, from the dedicated humanitarian and young mother creating “a vibrant legacy for us to hold on to and learn from” (Ann Patchett) “I am holding both my hope and my grief together in the same hands. It is a loose hold, looser than I am accustomed to. My love is so much bigger than me.” Nonprofit leader and minister Tallu Schuyler Quinn spent her adult life working to alleviate hunger, systemic inequality, and food waste, first as a volunteer throughout the United States and abroad, and then as the founder of the Nashville Food Project, where she supported the vibrant community work of local food justice in Middle Tennessee. That all changed just after her fortieth birthday, when she was diagnosed with stage IV glioblastoma, an aggressive form of terminal brain cancer. In What We Wish Were True, Quinn achingly grapples with the possibility of leaving behind the husband and children she adores, and what it means to live with a terminal diagnosis and still find meaning. “I think about how my purpose may be the same in death as it continues to be in life—surrendering to the hope that our weaknesses can be made strong, that what is broken can be made whole,” she writes. Through gorgeous prose, Quinn masterfully weaves together the themes of life and death by integrating spiritually nourishing stories about family, identity, vocational call, beloved community, God’s wide welcome, and living with brain cancer. Taken together, these stunning essays are a piercing reminder to cherish each moment, whether heartbreaking or hilarious, and cast loose other concerns. As a mother, a kindred spirit, and a dear friend, Tallu Schuyler Quinn looks into our eyes with well-earned tears in her own and tells us the bittersweet truth: We are all searching for what has already found us—present and boundless love. This love will deliver us and never let us go.

Book excerpt: Journey To Wholeness Reflections for Transforming Your Life is an inspirational book designed to inspire conscious living and serve as a catalyst for transformation. It reflects on the human condition and our yearning for inner harmony and fulfillment as we struggle to return to our innate state of wholeness. Wholeness is a natural and innate state of being. It is ultimate fulfillment. It is a conscious connection to our core being. Life circumstances and experiences often fracture aspects of ourselves and shift us into a different state of reality as we struggle against who we really are. Thus, we find ourselves lost in illusions and false beliefs and must find our way back to our center of wholeness. The challenge is becoming more congruent and connected with the mental, physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual aspect of ourselves; living well, and ultimately loving ourselves into wholeness...ultimate fulfillment. The book offers a unique and fundamental approach for insightful introspection on topics relevant to our daily existence with reflective thoughts for us to ponder in moments of happiness and those of quiet desperation. Eastern and western principles, practices and creative inspirations from great thinkers of our time on being whole and living well provides a variety of perspectives for personal growth and self-renewal on our journey to wholeness. As we become more knowledgeable of ourselves and aware in our daily lives, and sustain a mindset of conscious living with the realization that each moment presents a fresh opportunity to begin again. The author shares personal perspectives that are meaningful and insightful in the struggle for wholeness. Our labyrinth journey of life takes us out and back home to the place of wholeness wherein lies ultimate fulfillment.
