Friends and Strangers by Karen Mains chronicles the beginning of the
journey into self-knowledge, a painful odyssey particular to the work of the middle
years. This narrative focuses on the ages from 38-45. Each of us has hidden
areas, lies we tell to ourselves that we don’t know we are telling. The work of
the Holy Spirit is to continually bring us into truth. In this book I begin to
look at truth through encounters with strangers, people I meet along the way,
brought to me by God, who have rich gifts to give that shake my smug thinking.
I am convinced that no encounter is casual, as each has the potential to move
the ground beneath our feet, which is never as solid as we like to think.
