Behold Your Life: A Pilgrimage Through Your Memories Paperback – December 23, 1999
Purchase options and add-ons
Sometimes on life's long road it is helpful to pause and reflect on the journey we are making. Macrina Wiederkehr encourages us to reflect on our memories, both joyous and painful, so that we can move into the future with new wisdom and strength. In this forty-day pilgrimage, Wiederkehr guides us to let go of bitterness and blame and to prayerfully, simply behold our lives. She helps us to open the door of memory and journey again with Jesus down our life's path. From the moment of our conception, through the joys and pains of childhood and adolescence, and on to the quest for love and the fullness of life in adulthood, she leads us to recognize the ever present, loving touch of God. Behold Your Life is a wonderful resource for a healing retreat-during Lent or whenever the Spirit of God urges us to embrace our memories and discover the goodness hidden in our wounds.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2024Great experience with this seller. The book was sent quickly and was just as described. Excellent seller.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2012This is a beautiful book that gently takes you by the hand and invites you to walk through the stages of your life ... and you see that it is not only Macrina who is your guide but also Jesus, Best Friend. With these companions it is safe to take a look at those difficult, hurtful, resentful places and find you can forgive yourself and move on. You can love yourself. Here is a book to pick up at significant birthdays through the years to review ones life. I gave this book to my granddaughters who are new mothers ...and I know their perspective will be influenced by those precious babies who were also known by God before they were born. "You made my whole being; you formed me in my mother's body." Psalm 139 vs.3 (NCV) I am using this book as reference in my writing and work as a spiritual director. Beverly Jacobson
- Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2022New? That was not clear from its initial description. It arrived quickly, was obviously used, but tolerable. I was just disappointed that it was not original as described.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2022It arrived quickly and in good condition
- Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2010I found the adventure of reflecting on my life and circumstances from even before I was born to be a delightful and insightful experience. I highly recommend this book even if your family circumstances were not as favorable as mine. To recognize God at work within me since conception is remarkable.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2010I have used this book for personal growth and
for a book club at Church. Sister Makrina speaks
to your heart and soul. Her book: Behold Your Life
is introspective, soul searching, and deeply spiritual.
I recommend it to anyone looking to know herself/himself
better and to grow in God.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2015Wonderful book, great for a guide in Lent!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2012This book was not what I expected really. It was sort of a self-help book, which I suppose I
knew from the description but nonetheless did not catch my attention.
