Antoinette Bosco is an ordinary woman who has led a life of extraordinary adversity, yet through it all has developed a rich and mature faith. Her book, "Shaken Faith: Hanging In There When God Seems Far Away," tells us how she achieved that spiritual feat.For Bosco, faith is an elusive proposition and Christian faith is not an easy answer for hard times. Instead, it is a strengthener and a fortifier, a light and motivation with which to face life's problems. Moreover, it is possible through faith to realize that no tragedy is without some meaning. And tragedy has abounded in Bosco's life: left to raise six children on her own after leaving an abusive marriage, she has suffered the suicide of one beloved son and the senseless murder of another. She found the answer to her shaken world in the relationship embedded in her faith. Bosco teaches us to remember that faith is two-way street and that God is faithful to us as well. In God's faith, we are provided with light for our journey. We need only respond to God's gifts with the simplicity of children.
