Yes Lord I Have Sinned but I Have Several Excellent Excuses: But I Have Several Excellent Excuses With Study Guide (Behind the Pages)
by James W. Moore
from Dimensions for Living
Why do Orthodox Christians use icons in worship? What is the "baptism in the Holy Spirit" that Pentecostals speak about? Why do Roman Catholics focus on the Eucharist in worship? What do Lutherans teach us about salvation? What do Presbyterians teach us about God's power? How can Episcopalians deepen our prayer life? What can Baptists teach us about living for Christ?
Adam Hamilton will begin answering these questions and more in this eight-session, video-and-book study. Participants will learn of the history, theology, and distinctive emphases of eight different Christian denominations and faith traditions. For each tradition, participants will hear from a clergy member of that tradition and look at Scriptures that have shaped that faith. Churches that purchase the study will be given tools and sermon starters to create a congregationwide emphasis, shaping worship around elements of each denomination as it is studied.
Listening for the Soul: Pastoral Care and Spiritual Direction (Integrating Spirituality Into Pastoral Counseling)
by Jean Stairs
from Augsburg Fortress Publishers
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.
