This book documents the Episcopal Church's developing focus on baptism within the context of the liturgical movement, the emerging understanding of the eucharist, prayer book revision, and the confirmation dilemma. Drawing on historical and contemporary sources, the author presents a credible case in support of her belief that a baptismal ecclesiology is emerging from these events that have enabled people to accept a radically different initiatory pattern in the church. This book exhibits clarity on the issues discussed with the support of solid scholarship and lucid writing.
"Energy in motion"—that's how clinical psychologist David Hawkins describes emotions. Hawkins, author of When Pleasing Others Is Hurting You, shows how emotions can help readers discern what is most important, determine what is missing in their lives, and discover how God is leading them in new directions. The Power of Emotional Decision-Making reveals— Emotions are part of God's heart, as Jesus demonstrated in the temple with the moneychangers, at Lazarus' tomb, and in Gethsemane. God communicates not only through our mind and will but also through our emotions. Ignoring our emotions leads to the destructive influence of denial. Paying attention to our emotions helps us to deal more quickly and effectively with resentment and depression. Even anger, fear, and grief can lead us to make effective decisions. This unique guide will help readers discover what God is speaking to their hearts.
