A psyhological and spiritual exploration of the positive potential
hidden in our painful emotions. Its key conviction: our bad
feelings can be good news, alerting us to endangered values,
alarming us to hopes under siege, and arming us for the tough tasks
of change.
Filled with lively examples, the Whiteheads demonstrate how
negative emotions can lead to personal growth, spiritual
development, and social transformation. Family wounds, cultural
temptations, and religious malpractice make it difficult for us to
plumb the meaning of our passions. Breaking through these obstacles
is part of spirituality's healing task.
I Send a Voice is the gripping, first person account of what
happens inside a Native American Sweat Lodge. Evelyn Eaton writes
of her resolve to become worthy of participating in a Sweat Lodge
healing ritual. She undergoes tests and ordeals inside and outside
of the Lodge following the spiritual path to learn the shamanic
secrets, and eventually daring to ask for a healing Pipe of her
own. This classic book remains one of the definitive accounts of
the training and work of a Pipe-carrier and provides a unique
insight into Native American culture and their sacred and esoteric
rites. It will be essential reading for everyone with an interest
in Native American culture, shamanic rituals or holistic healing.
Theologically-based and ministerially-tested, Method in Ministry
provides a portable method for pastoral reflection, supporting the
essential Christian vocation of generous response to God s Word. In
this new edition, the Whiteheads have revised and expanded their
now-classic discussion of theological reflection in ministry.
Here is the haunting story of the great female poet Hung Tu, who
flourished in the ninth century during one of the great periods of
Chinese literature. The daughter of a Government official far from
the capital, on the Silk River, she was, most unusually, brought up
with her brothers whom she far outshone. Falling on evil times, her
father sells her to the best Blue House on the Silk River. Hung
Tu's poetry and calligraphy bring her great renown, and the story
traces her rise from Flower-in-the-Mist to Official Hostess at the
court of the governors of the Silk City, and her love affair with
the poet Yuan Chen. Set against the backdrop of the scholars,
poets, officials, and warring factions of ninth century China, this
wonderful story reconstructs one of the great periods of China -
turbulent, cruel, yet with a sense of beauty remarkable by any
standards and in any age. Go Ask the River is a tale not only of
historical China, but of the human struggle to discover how to be
alive. 'Throughout runs the Taoist Philosophy - the Eight Signs of
the Golden Flower, the meaning of Tao, the place of women in
Oriental society. Hung Tu emerges as a vibrant figure, radiating a
sense of beauty, balance, and well-being.' - Montreal Star 'The
stylized sensuality of the world that Miss Eaton writes about is so
clearly defined by the cool simplicity of her language that as we
read this tale of ninth-century China we see that it all happened
just as she tells it, and her characters are as real to us as
though we read about them in the newspapers every day.' - The New
Yorker 'A many-splendored trip through a rainbow world.' -
Publishers Weekly
Drawing from a wealth of psychological and spiritual sources, the
authors help us gain a new perspective on how we handle the painful
emotions of anger, shame, guilt, and depression
Christian adulthood is the focus of this book. In it we attempt to
re-envision, to see anew, the patterns of power, confidence, and
loss that shape maturity. This effort is guided by two ideas or,
better, images that have long been central in Christian
spirituality: vocation and virtue. Our goal is to befriend these
images, to rescue them from narrow interpretations that have
weakened each, to recover their power to illumine our adult journey
with God.
""Seasons of Strength" is a probing, thoughtful, and inspiring
exploration of what it means to become an adult Christian. In it,
the Whiteheads have distilled a clear and positive vision of human
development in relation to faith, spirituality, and ministry.
Invaluable as a text in adult education, this book is a steady
resource for classroom use and personal reflection.
--Richard Woods, Loyola University of Chicago
"The book is well-grounded in tradition, but thoroughly
contemporary and original in its conclusions. Highly
recommended."

set against the tragic events of the Acadian Deportation of the

offers overnight shelter in her family home to an English officer.
Within weeks the Comeaus find themselves in the reeking hold of a

charming English officer must have betrayed her; when he comes to
her in her new Virginia home, however, she realizes he, too, has
sacrificed much for love.

the background of one of the most terrible passages in Canadian
History.
