This book tells the story of two people, born in poverty, who found each other and married in a world at war. They brought up and educated a family, but while their two sons were still very young, the father, a strong man who had served for twenty-five years in the army in India, developed the symptoms of Huntington's disease. This cast a deep shadow over the family as his condition deteriorated over the next twenty-five years, but their faithful experience of God's love and their deep love for each other gave them the strength and sense of purpose that brought them safe to the end, a meaning expressed in the words of Mother Julian of Norwich: "Do you want to know what our Lord meant in all this? Love is his meaning. In this love our life is everlasting. All this we shall see in God without end." Love is His Meaning recreates in a new way and as one book, as the author always wished, the story first presented in Stranger on the Shore and This Life of Grace, both of which captivated readers. This new book has allowed the author to draw together the separate stories of his parents and of their families, before they were married, the story of their marriage and of his mother's long life after his father's death. This treatment, of parallel lives, gives a picture of life in our country over the whole of the twentieth century, allowing the reader to grasp what life was like for many ordinary families in those days when the power of the Christian Faith was more influential and widely experienced.
