Victory over Suffering
نویسنده
چکیده
Miss Ikin writes from the fulness of her own experience. After years of activity during the War in which she travelled up and down the country lecturing to the Forces on personal problems, both spiritual and domestic, she now finds herself extremely limited in physical ability and unable to walk more than a short distance. Consequently she knows what she is talking about, and she gives many practical illustrations in the course of her book which are most illuminating. All through the book there is emphasised the need to understand God's dealings with men. This can only be done by men and women who are prepared to listen to the Voice of God as addressed to themselves in a diversity of ways. It is a very difficult way and unacceptable to many. But to those who will persevere, mysteries will be revealed and the ways of God made understandable as never before. M iss Ikin is a practical mystic with wide knowledge and contacts with men and women in trouble. Her scientific training has made it possible for her in addition to be a valuable link between clergy, doctors and laity in matters connected with spiritual and Cental healing. She is able to some extent to see the significance ?f suffering and its relation to what she, in the tenth chapter of her book, calls "the pattern of the Cosmos." Here are no platitudes. It requires considerable mental effort and determination to read what Miss Ikin has written. But the reward will be incalculable and transforming. Life, with all the knowledge indicated here, becomes an inspiring adventure rather than a defeating anxiety. This book is to be thoroughly recommended to all those interested in spiritual healing and mental health.
