An award-winning book The Beautiful Disappointment recounts the true story of urban youth-worker and author Colin McCartneys personal struggles in dealing with the murder of one of his staff members, the death of a child in his youth program, followed by a long recovery from his own near-death experience in a paralyzing water accident in Hawaii. While Colin was recovering from this life-threatening accident in the critical care unit of Maui Memorial Hospital, he slowly realizes that trials are really "beautiful disappointments" God can use to purge us of all the false things we have allowed to disfigure who we truly are. Through this "refining by trials" Colin experiences the very real and intimate presence of Goda presence he suggests frees us deep in our souls to reconnect with who we truly are as God originally created us to be. In The Beautiful Disappointment, Colin McCartney shares not only each step of his encounters with disappointment but his conclusions that the many challenges life throws at us do not shape us-but, how we respond to these challenges does.
