Susan Holman challenges this stereotypical polarisation through stories designed to help shape a new lens on global health, one that envisions a multi-disciplinary integration of respect for religion and culture with an equal respect for and engagement with human rights and social justice.
Finding the Heart of God is an adaptation of the conversations about negative emotions that I had with my grandchildren. It is based on a class I took called Transformation Prayer Ministry* (TPM) by Ed M. Smith. Since I saw much progress when using the method with adults, I adapted some of the basic concepts taught in this ministry model for use with my young grandchildren.

Hans Urs von Balthasar’s vast corpus of theological, philosophical, literary, and pastoral writings remains one of the most impressive achievements in 20th century thought.
