That sudden Yearning you feel when you see a sunset.
If you\'ve ever wondered how to keep going in This world while holding on to the hope of the world to come, This Homeward Ache offers you courage, companionship, and a stirring sense of the scope of our journey home to Christ..
In each spellbinding chapter, Amy traces her own brushes with This longing, unfolding her discovery that it is designed to enrich and alter every area of our lives: our valleys of pain, our relationships with other people, and ultimately our reception of the love of God.
Those experiences that sting you to attention in moments of beauty, peace, or sorrow--the ones you can sense are offering you a twinkling, piercing hint of heaven: Are these meant to do more than point you to eternity? What if they could enable you to live more fully on the way there? Through personal reflections, evocative stories, and profound writing, author Amy Baik Lee offers This Homeward Ache , inviting you to remember the times you\'ve been deeply moved by a glimpse, a spark, of something you know is beyond the visible present--moments that other cultures and times have called Sehnsucht , saudade , hiraeth , or galmang .
That pang of longing you sense deep in your bones when you attend a funeral or even gaze at a poignant piece of art.
