Jennifer R. Durant, busy career woman, wife, and mom of two, made a
drastic career change. In the lexicon of ministry, God called her
to be an Episcopal priest, and Jennifer answered. Several years
later, in the final weeks of seminary, Durant's world changed
dramatically again, when the persistent weakness in one of her
hands was diagnosed as ALS (aka Lou Gehrig's disease). In Sparrow,
completed with her husband, Matthew, Durant recounts her battle and
brings the reader with her on her spiritual journey through her
priesthood and ministry which, despite her illness, continued to
her death-with the aid of a speech box, she preached her final
sermon on the Sunday before her death. Durant leads readers forward
through the confusion of our caffeine-fueled and perpetually
exhausted world to discover, as she did, a renewing sense of
God-given purpose and sacred light which even the darkest of
circumstances cannot extinguish, a place where even in silence, God
is present, whispering through us. An inspiration to any who suffer
from a debilitating disease (or know someone who does) and those
who provide pastoral care to others. It is a story of God's
redemption and new life.
