Dr Sheila Cassidy

Sheila Cassidy, medical doctor and Christian writer published her memoirs last year. A very refreshing, down to earth and sometimes surprising volume. On the final chapter and writing about God she writes: "He or she has led me a merry dance into the torture chamber and out, into the convent and out, and then through twenty years of the most satisfying work a woman could wish for. Now I have emerged into a sunlit meadow and I feel God's love like the sun on my back. I have no idea what joy or suffering the future may bring but I am ready for either" (c) Sheila Cassidy, Made for Laughter, London: Darton, Longman and Todd, 2006, p. 211.
