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.
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.
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."
--Library Journal
