"The hundreds of thousands of Sacred Heart shrines, monuments, statues, prints, paintings, holy cards, medals, scapulars and devotional paraphernalia that litter the landscape of Catholicism worldwide reflect the fact that the Sacred Heart was one of the defining symbols of the church through the mid-twentieth century. In fact, whether in scripture, prayer, iconography or theological reflection the image of the Heart of God has always been present in the Christian story, and in Sacred Heart Wendy Wright shows how it can become a window through which we might glimpse something of the divine mystery and through which the divine mystery might gaze upon us." "This book is both a richly detailed history and analysis of the devotion to the Sacred Heart, and a powerful and imaginative description of a spiritual journey."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Beautifully introduces a readily recognisably spiritual sensibility, which influenced Christians over many centuries, and has the power to inspire Christians today.
Beliefs are the lenses through which we view the world and the blueprints from which we construct our lives. At no time are family and individual beliefs more affirmed, challenged, or threatened than when illness emerges.But some beliefs are more useful than others. This is the first book to offer a specific clinical approach for examining family members' beliefs and intervening in that area. Drawing on disciplines ranging from religion to anthropology as well as on family therapy and psychology, the authors describe their own advanced practice model. Rich in clinical examples, the book takes readers inside the therapeutic conversation between the clinician and family members to show the model in action. By drawing forth more facilitative beliefs to cope with illness, the authors uncover and expand the therapeutic possibilities for helping and healing families.
Theologian Wendy Wright's insightful commentary and witty, poignant personal family stories illumine the presence of God in the full spectrum of family life in this contemplative "walk" through a home. Reflects on the unique ways your family members can respond to the call to become transfigured people. A wonderful gift book for any family.

In The Spiritual Way: Classic Traditions and Contemporary Practice,Philip Sheldrake aims to make the wisdom of Christian spirituality better known to contemporary readers. After an introductory chapter on the foundations of Christian spirituality, Sheldrake describes its diverse riches through the centuries in terms of five distinctive types of Christian spiritual wisdom, illustrated by a rich selection of classical examples. The five types are “The Way of Discipline,” “The Contemplative-Mystical Way,” “The Way of Practical Action,” “The Way of Beauty,” and “The Prophetic Way.” This book also briefly explores the contemporary interest in spirituality within and beyond conventional religion and suggests how we might engage with these five types on our spiritual journeys in today’s world.
