Customer Reviews

A Good Book!

Cathy says: John Carmody's "How to Handle Trouble" is turly a useful book. I highly recommend reading it!

A good book

This is a very good book if you are having bad times. Carmody provides no-nonsense advice and philosophy on how to deal with death or pain. His spirituality is present throughout the work, but is not in your face. Very good starter for anyone looking for something beyond a self-help book.

An excellent resource for all kinds of trouble

I have found Carmody's "How to Handle Trouble" to be the one of the most truly useful books I have ever read (and reread) about meeting real hardships in life. Realistic, hopeful, and wise, Carmody's writing addresses issues as practical as the need for help from friends and as profound as the need to address the deeper mysteries of life, death and meaning. All is written in a very accessible way, and organized so that particular themes and topics can be easily identified when you want to go back to revisit them. Down to earth, yet never forgetting the horizon of mystery that surrounds human life. A good book to hold onto, and to read and reflect on, time and again.
