Infidelity: A Practitioner's Guide to Working with Couples in Crisis (Family Therapy and Counseling) ReviewThis is a great book for counselors/therapists who work with couples who present with infidelity. It is thorough in explaining the reasons, the emotional trauma, and best practice for helping these couples. It moves from the affair, confronting it, using it as a learning experience, and finally, if the couple desires to stay together, explores forgiveness. A great tool for helping use this emotional trauma as a catalyst for change.Infidelity: A Practitioner's Guide to Working with Couples in Crisis (Family Therapy and Counseling) Overview

Passing the Plate: Why American Christians Don't Give Away More Money ReviewAs a seminary student with plans enter the priesthood, I found Passing the Plate valuable and helpful. The authors approach the inquiry of "Why American Christians don't give away more money" with genuine concern and interest in those who profess a faith but don't support it financially as their faith suggests they should. The tone throughout the book is measured not to criticize or accuse Christians of fault but moreso to help Christians live up to their faith and to fund the causes in which they believe. I appreciated their motives, processes, honesty and suggestions.
The authors present themselves as sociologists rather than theologians or Christian leaders. Their endeavor is to research and study Christian giving that they might determine the thoughts, attitudes, emotions and resources behind Christian giving or lack of it.
They study and analyze a plethora of data on giving and givers. They perform their own surveys and interviews of Christian leaders and parishoners to get to the core of the issue. The data results of their studies are eye opening to say the least, and most of their statistics are clear and tell a revealing story of who gives, how much they give and why they give or don't give.
The authors offer and test hypotheses of why American Christians don't give more money--at least closer to the 10% tithe prescribed by most Christian organizations. They discuss their findings in relation to these hypotheses.
After discussing their findings, they present suggestions for Christian leaders to implement in their congregations to increase giving in conformity with their faith. These are coherent, practical applications that are not manipulative or conniving but what I think are really helpful suggestions that readers can consider.
I think this book is one that pastors and Christian leaders will find valuable and instructional. I think it will also ease discomfort and anxiety that leaders may have when it comes to discussing money and teaching about finances within their churches.

Spirituality And Mental Health: Clinical Applications Review.I was overjoyed to find out that this book was in existence!!! It was long over due in my way of thinking. The information in this book is much needed and I found the insight of the author to be something I coveted for all the doctor's and professionals I have encountered in the past ten years in helping both of my children in their recovery path, dealing with bipolar disorder. The author understands that we can only expect true connection with one another when we treat not just the symptoms but the whole person, ESPECIALLY, their spiritual being, if we expect any kind of true recovery from mental illness. I will be reading and sharing this book, many times, with many people. and I thank the author from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to put his thoughts in book form to share with us allSpirituality And Mental Health: Clinical Applications Overview

The Art of Cruelty: A Reckoning ReviewMaggie Nelson in this book is clearly experimenting with language in art criticism. I much appreciated this aspect. Common readers, i.e. readers that are not trained in art criticism, often find art theory pure invention, fanciful speculation or arcane discourse. Nelson investigations and questions are simple, specific, concrete and objectively reasonable. How did she managed to do this? talking in first person as personally and emotionally engaged. The topic, artistic issues related with an hypothetical (since theorized in theater by Artaud and barely mentioned in art) "Art of Cruelty", is very original and Nelson is brilliant in raising it to critical attention.The Art of Cruelty: A Reckoning Overview

What I Believe ReviewThis is a distillation of Kung's thought and belief. Reading it stretches the intellect and opens new vistas. He takes the reader seriously, and doesn't give easy pat answers. Looking at the various areas of belief in life, he covers trust, joy, meaning, ethics, foundation of life, suffering, spirituality, Christianity in dialogue with other religions, and hope for the future. I had it from the library, and liked it so much I bought it. There is plenty to think about here. It answers some questions, raises others, and looks at all aspects of the main thing we have in common, how to live the life. It's wowrth reading several times, because one can discover new aspects of Kung's belief on every page. For those who like a mental challenge, who really want to think about their theology and spirituality, this is the book!What I Believe Overview

Science vs. Religion: What Scientists Really Think ReviewThis book is a model of in-depth sociological research, based on extensive in-person interviews with a rare (and rarefied) set of subjects: scientists at elite academic institutions. Ecklund clearly has a gift for getting beneath the surface in her interviews, and she puts the results together in memorable and succinct ways that sometimes confirm and sometimes undermine stereotypes of how scientists view religion--the adversarial title of the book (for which an author can never be held fully responsible) does little to convey the nuance and surprises of the analysis. The results, to be sure, are not entirely surprising: most elite scientists are indeed distant from traditional religion, as one would expect, even while a substantial minority are much more engaged with faith (both traditional and self-constructed) than even their own colleagues would guess. The decision to include social scientists among the sample seems to me a bit counterproductive, given how much methods and scholarly temperaments differ in the social sciences (even the "hard" disciplines like economics) compared to the natural sciences. Still, this is important work with an empirical clarity that has been needed for a long time in a field often mired in stereotypes and assumptions. It will serve the ongoing conversation about science and religion well for many years.Science vs. Religion: What Scientists Really Think Overview

Souls in Transition: The Religious and Spiritual Lives of Emerging Adults ReviewThis is absolutely a seminal piece for those interested in adolescent development, the transition to adulthood, and/or religion. In a wonderful extension to the first book (Soul Searching), Souls in Transition provides a rigorous, yet amazingly accessible, account of the forces and mechanisms at play in adolescents religious lives as they make the transition to young adulthood. The balance the book is able to maintain between using rigorous methodology, empirical evidence, and engaging explanation is quite impressive. The book will be of great use to academics, religious leaders, and the public alike.Souls in Transition: The Religious and Spiritual Lives of Emerging Adults Overview

Almost Christian: What the Faith of Our Teenagers is Telling the American Church Review*****
This wonderful book is based on the National Study of Youth and Religion conducted from 2002 to 2005. It is a fascinating analysis of teen religious practice, which is a bellwether of the faith of us all. Teenagers are practicing the faith that we are teaching them, not what we say we believe, but what we actually believe as evidenced by our actions. All of this could be dry and boring, but in "Almost Christian" it is not! This is a truly fascinating exploration of what makes faith vibrant, what makes faith "consequential". As such it is important for everyone to read, not just those interested in teens and youth ministry. Much of the book describes real faith--a faith rich in holy desire and missional clarity--and explores ways that we as a church can experience and model this in our lives.
Most teenagers today practice an "imposter faith" what the author calls "Moralistic Therapeutic Deism"--"the new mainstream American religious faith" in which God is seen as a butler or a therapist rather than (as the approximately 8% of youth that are "highly devoted" do) as a "divine swimming instructor" who is down in the water with them, leading and instructing them. The book also explores the faith of these "highly devoted" youth and what makes them different from their peers.
The scope of this book is limited to Christian ministry and formation and does not include Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, or other faiths. There are helpful appendices and an index, and the book is written in a somewhat intellectual style and at the same time a very moving style---very readable and pragmatic--not academic.
I read this book not because I had any interest in youth ministry or teenagers in particular, but because of the title--"Almost Christian"--something in it resonated with me, and I'm so glad I gave it a chance. This book made my life richer, and gave me an appreciation both for young people and for my faith that I did not have before. It's really important to me to not be an Americanized Christian with a watered-down faith, but rather, someone who reflects the love of Jesus Christ and real faith in all I do. I found myself enlightened, inspired, and encouraged.
Highly recommended.
