Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From one of the world’s most influential spiritual thinkers, a long-awaited book exploring what it means that Jesus was called “Christ,” and how this forgotten truth can restore hope and meaning to our lives. “Anyone who strives to put their faith into action will find encouragement and inspiration in the pages of this book.”—Melinda Gates In his decades as a globally recognized teacher, Richard Rohr has helped millions realize what is at stake in matters of faith and spirituality. Yet Rohr has never written on the most perennially talked about topic in Christianity: Jesus. Most know who Jesus was, but who was Christ? Is the word simply Jesus’s last name? Too often, Rohr writes, our understandings have been limited by culture, religious debate, and the human tendency to put ourselves at the center. Drawing on scripture, history, and spiritual practice, Rohr articulates a transformative view of Jesus Christ as a portrait of God’s constant, unfolding work in the world. “God loves things by becoming them,” he writes, and Jesus’s life was meant to declare that humanity has never been separate from God—except by its own negative choice. When we recover this fundamental truth, faith becomes less about proving Jesus was God, and more about learning to recognize the Creator’s presence all around us, and in everyone we meet. Thought-provoking, practical, and full of deep hope and vision, The Universal Christ is a landmark book from one of our most beloved spiritual writers, and an invitation to contemplate how God liberates and loves all that is.
Download or read book Things They Never Told Me in Therapy School written by Peg Blackstone and published by Port Gamble Pr. This book was released on 1991 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "They leave out a lot of important stuff in Therapy School," Blackstone begins, "like what to do when you're leading group & your skirt falls down." And from there it gets funny.... "The best thing I've read!" (Mary McClure Goulding, MSW, Co-developer of REDECISION THERAPY) "Insightful-delightful!" (Denton Roberts, M.Div., author of ABLE & EQUAL) "This book is a treasure!" (Joan Minninger, Ph.D., author of TOTAL RECALL) "Peg Blackstone has to be the funniest therapist ever to stroke a psyche!" (Patrick McManus, author of A FINE & PLEASANT MISERY). THINGS THEY NEVER TOLD ME IN THERAPY SCHOOL offers a unique, heartwarming look at real psychotherapy. Numerous clinical & personal anecdotes illustrate Blackstone's joy in her work & continuing high regard for clients' strength & resiliency. Her humorous, sensible approach challenges popular myths about therapy & human nature. In this work, Blackstone does for psychotherapy what James Herriott did for veterinary practice in ALL CREATURES GREAT & SMALL. She also prompts readers to examine their fundamental assumptions about human nature. Are people basically "good"? Can they really change in significant ways? Is almost everyone "addicted" or otherwise afflicted without knowing it? Current, entertaining & thought provoking reading.
