Being human is a lifelong journey of becoming. This journey defines
our humanity, for it is a journey toward our source and our
fulfillment, described in Christian theology as union with God. If
we remain open to God as our sense of self awakens, we experience a
deeper consciousness of being in him. The self that emerges during
this process is larger, more enlightened, and whole.
David Benner, who has spent thirty-five years integrating
psychology and spirituality, presents psychological insights in a
readable fashion to offer readers a deeper understanding of the
self and its spiritual development. Drawing on a broad range of
Christian traditions, Benner shows that the transformation of self
is foundational to Christian spirituality.
This book will appeal to readers interested in a psychologically
grounded, fresh exploration of Christian spirituality;
professionals engaged in pastoral care, counseling, and spiritual
direction; and students in ministry development and spiritual
formation courses. Questions and answers for individual or group
use are included at the end of each chapter.
