A friendly and affirming collection of 52 secular essays with
interactive journaling prompts for those seeking spiritual
connection and comfort outside the confines of organized religion.
In Sermons on the Couch, Cindy Gentry offers weekly sermons that
meet people where they are—whether religious or spiritual,
agnostic or atheist. Instead of references to deities, her lessons
are placed in the context of a force in the Universe. Instead of
Biblical quotes, she uses the wise words of celebrities,
scientists, poets, and thinkers. Rather than traditional hymns, she
closes each sermon with suggested popular songs from across genres.
At the end of each Sermon, she offers journal questions to guide
further contemplation of the weekly topic. For example, the
book’s opening sermon is titled “Resolutions.” To avoid the
self-criticism that comes from not following through on
resolutions, Cindy suggests reframing them into more general goals
such as becoming a happier, healthier person, improving
relationships, and making the world a better place. Journal
questions prompt reflection on past experiences with resolutions
and what the reader might do differently this year, and the hymn
selection for this sermon is New Beginning, by Tracy Chapman.
Writes Cindy, “So, that is my mission. To enjoy a laugh and a
song, but most of all, to remind people each week, despite the
crazy ups and downs of life, that they are perfect in their
imperfections, the Universe loves them unconditionally, and that we
can hold on to each other.”
