Darkness But Not Despair: Making Sense of Illness in the Light of Faith

 

Jennie Hogan talks about her unsparing memoir, This Is My Body, a story of brain trauma, recovery and transformation. Drawing on her beliefs, experience and poetry, she questions what it means to suffer pain and disability yet be made in the image of God.

Jennie Hogan is a university chaplain at Goodenough College in London and assistant priest at St George’s Bloomsbury.
