Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Award Finalist IVP Readers' Choice
Award We are people of desire. In The Soul of Desire, psychiatrist
Curt Thompson suggests that underneath all our longings is the
desire to be known-and what's more, that this fundamental yearning
manifests itself in our deep need to make things of beauty,
revealing who we are to others. Desire and beauty go hand in hand.
But both our craving to be known and our ability to create beauty
have been marred by trauma and shame, collapsing our imagination
for what God has for us and blinding us to the possibility that
beauty could ever emerge from our ashes. Drawing on his work in
interpersonal neurobiology and clinical practice, Thompson presents
a powerful picture of the capacity of the believing community to
reshape our imaginations, hold our desires and griefs together, and
invite us into the beauty of God's presence. The Soul of Desire is
a mature, creative work, weaving together neuroscience and
spiritual formation to open up new horizons for thinking not only
about the nature of the mind, but about what it means to be human.
