Through Storms and Still Waters: Finding Union with Christ In Suffering

Draw near to Christ in every season of life.

Whether the faithful find themselves in the midst of joy or experiencing deep suffering, Christ is always present to his people. Yet, it can be hard to hold onto this truth and remain close to him during life’s uncertainties.

In Through Storms and Still Waters: Finding Union with Christ in Suffering, Megan Madden shares her own spiritual journey, revealing how faith has carried her through both the mountaintop moments and the darkest valleys. Women will come away from this book with a better understanding of different seasons they may encounter in their own spiritual lives. With personal stories, scriptural imagery, advice, and practical encouragement, this book will help readers strengthen their own personal relationship with the Lord at every step of their journey.

This beautiful work shows Catholics that union with Christ is not merely possible—it is essential. It is only through union with God that lasting peace, joy, and fulfillment are found on this side of heaven.

“The Lord has granted us a great gift in Megan Madden as a guide and author. As she encourages us with her words and her anecdotes and her own personal testimony, may we
trust … the Lord in the deserts, believing that it is in the ordinary and the day-to-day and the deserts that he comes and espouses himself to each of us.” 
–Fr. Mark-Mary Ames, CFR

Megan Madden is a homeschooling mother with a passion for writing and speaking on authentic femininity and virtuous womanhood. In 2017, she began graduate studies in marriage and family at the International Theological Institute in Austria. After moving to Kraków, Poland to work with university students, Megan more personally continued her research on the complementarity of man and woman, particularly on the question of what it means to be a woman. She delved into the study of renowned Catholic writers on women such as St. Edith Stein, Gertrude von le Fort, Alice von Hildebrand, St. John Paul II, and St. Teresa of Avila. The results were the development of Megan’s online ministry A Mother’s Lace, as well as speaking opportunities and her book with Ascension: Mary, Teach Me to Be Your Daughter. Megan lives outside of Oxford, England with her husband, who is a lecturer in theology, and their five children.
