Sacred Heart
"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.

The Wondrous Mystery
During Advent we think about a wondrous mystery: that God chose to become human and lived among us. The Wondrous Mystery invites readers to reflect on several paradoxes that make up the Advent season: light and darkness, peace and strife, solitude and community, simplicity and complexity. This daily Advent reader incorporates meditations from Weavings: A Journal of the Christian Spiritual Life. Writers include Barbara Brown Taylor, Henri J. M. Nouwen, Sue Monk Kidd, Wendell Berry, Wendy M. Wright, and other voices from Weavings, which contained the teachings and perspectives of some of the finest theologians and teachers of Christian spiritual formation. Compiler Ben Howard writes, "The glory of the Advent season is that it's irrational. It shows us a glimpse of the way that God turns the world and our expectations upside down. . . . In a season filled with the longest, darkest nights, we are told to wait for the coming of the most beautiful light."

Beliefs
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.
