Additional Info
This book explores the relationship between the practices of pastoral care and the practices of spiritual direction with the aim of enabling pastoral caregivers to draw upon the guiding principles, resources, and techniques of spiritual direction within the Christian tradition. With an emphasis on both “practice” and “presence,” the book reclaims the tradition of “soul care” for the pastoral ministry, thereby complementing the medical, or crisis intervention, model of pastoral care with a wellness/growth model of pastoral care.
Listening for the Soul:
_Challenges clergy to take seriously the relationship between pastoral care and spiritual direction.
_Integrates theological and psychological insights with issues of spiritual life and formation.
_Includes a chapter on the spiritual formation of children.
_Provides practical guidance for integrating spiritual direction with pastoral care.
_Tends to the pastoral caregivers own needs for spiritual deepening.
_Includes reflection questions and case studies to enable the text to function on both the individual reader and classroom levels.

Great Divorce
$17.99Add to cartC.S. Lewis takes us on a profound journey through both heaven and hell in this engaging allegorical tale. Using his extraordinary descriptive powers, Lewis introduces us to supernatural beings who will change the way we think about good and evil. In The Great Divorce C.S. Lewis again employs his formidable talent for fable and allegory. The writer, in a dream, finds himself in a bus which travels between Hell and Heaven. This is the starting point for an extraordinary meditation upon good and evil which takes issue with William Blake’s The Marriage of Heaven and Hell.
