Religious social and pastoral thought and activity Books

Book SynopsisThe bestselling author and prominent New Testament scholar draws parallels between 1stcentury Roman Empire and 21stcentury United States, showing how the radical messages of Jesus and Paul can lead us to peace today Using the tools of expert biblical scholarship and a keen eye for current events, bestselling author John Dominic Crossan deftly presents the tensions exhibited in the Bible between political power and God's justice. Through the revolutionary messages of Jesus and Paul, Crossan reveals what the Bible has to say about land and economy, violence and retribution, justice and peace, and ultimately, redemption. He examines the meaning of “kingdom of God” prophesized by Jesus, and the equality recommended to Paul by his churches, contrasting these messages of peace against the misinterpreted apocalyptic vision from the book of Revelations, that has been co-opted by modern right-wing theologians and televangelists to justify the United State's military actions

Book SynopsisA White pastor and a Black pastor, close friends who have each built racially diverse congregations, offer a model Christians can follow to open necessary conversations about race, encourage unity, and foster mutual respect to heal a wounded nation riven by racial tension and political tribalism.For years, Pastors John Siebeling and Wayne Francis have led thriving congregations that are the embodiment of diversity; Siebeling in Memphis and Francis in New York City. Many churches and leaders have sought their counsel, hoping to emulate their success. At the height of the Black Lives Matter protests in Summer 2020, they pooled their insights and experiences to help others facilitate conversations about racism. The guide they developed is the basis of God and Race. Siebeling and Francis examine the White-Black tension from both perspectives and answer all the uncomfortable questions we’re afraid to ask—regarding ourselves, our families, our work and relationships, and the church. Most important, they provide practical steps anyone can take to become part of the solution. Whether you are a church leader or just a caring person who wants to make a difference, God and Race provides inspiration and guidance to help you become an agent of reconciliation and change. These two wise pastors teach you how to find your voice and join Jesus in healing, to help bring our divided communities together with open minds, open hearts, and open hands.Many Christian books on race either do not ask the hard questions or, if they do, speak as critics outside the mainstream church. Siebeling and Francis probe the meaning of racial reconciliation and reveal how the church can be a positive and effective leader to move us forward, beyond hate and injustice, to equality and love.

Book SynopsisA unique, valuable book for college courses on religion that explains the effect of spiritual values on attitudes toward justice. Trade Review"Andrain’s striking interdisciplinary study at the intersection of politics and theology boldly promises to bring liberalism back as an intellectual force for justice and social integrity. His account of the social gospel in U.S. moral history reminds us of the great prophetic power of engaged Christian liberalism, so deeply at odds with the politically complacent and narrowly ambitious conservative Christian politics of today." -- Christine Helmer, Departments of Religion and German, Northwestern University"This book offers a broad, exciting look at religion's role in conceptualizations of justice. Truly interdisciplinary, the book will appeal to scholars across many disciplines. It also offers a particularly timely look at how religion and politics might be married together in ways that go beyond the Religious Right's "values" rubric." -- Laura R. Olson, Professor of Political Science, Clemson University"Andrain has a deep knowledge of American political sociology...This text will be of greatest interest to scholars of American religion and political sociology."

Book SynopsisA timely and wide-ranging exploration of the appropriate Christian response to the issues of food and diet in today's world, from health and the environment to animal rights and economic justice.Trade Review"What in God's Name are you Eating?" might both help us to keep hold of a vision of a more sustainable future and provide a practical manual for the taking of some positive personal initiatives ... As this book consistently reminds us, "Just one step starts a journey". Finishing the book, I looked hard at my lunch before me on the table. After eating with a little more awareness of the bigger processes that led to the placing of that food before me, I got up from the table resolving, in fact, to re-establish my own rectory vegetable garden. Aspiration had become application - and that's what we need now to carry us forward. Rev Andrew Norman, Methodist Recorder, 26th June 2015 "Andrew Francis's What in God's Name are you Eating? Is an informative and engaging look at the ethical and environmental implications which our food choices have in the modern global market. .

Book SynopsisWritten by a former soldier turned pacifist, this is a penetrating analysis of the links between war, masculinity and misogyny and the Church's historical complicity in promoting them.Trade Review"Goff's unique experiences enable him to narrate this story (often with lurid details and 'salty' language that may make some readers uncomfortable) from a rare perspective that few civilians could access on their own. It cannot be easily dismissed as a flaccid, pacifist indulgence in an over-realised eschatology. Rather than relegate justice to the 'sweet by and by', Goff's account gives Christians sufficient cause (and the tools with which) to interrogate contemporary accounts of gender and warfare." -Shawn Aghajan, Studies in Christian Ethics, Vol. 29 No. 3, August 2016 "Stan Goff's striking book - part memoir, part theological investigation of masculinity, part psychodynamic analysis of sex and war - .... is a relentless take-down of belief in redemptive violence, and war's ennobling character. .... [It] deserves a place on Christian Ethics, Feminist Studies, and War Studies courses." -The Revd Rachel Mann, Church Times, February 2017Table of ContentsForeword by Amy Laura Hall Preface Acknowledgments 1 - Introduction 2 - My Acquaintance with a Christian Soldier and Serial Rapist 3 - Forest Troop 4 - Body Counts 5 - Ontology of the Witch Hunt 6 - Ecologies of Power 7 - The Rise of the Lawyers 8 - Misbegotten Man 9 - Eros and War 10 - Practice Makes Perfect 11 - The Masculine Fortress 12 - Torture and Redemption 13 - The Pope's Army 14 - Sleepwalking 15 - Genealogy 16 - Bodies and Objects 17 - Contagious Prefix 18 - Just, Civil, and Total War - Sanctification of State 19 - A Bodyguard of Lies: Girl Story and Boy Story 20 - Origin Myths 21 - Paradox of Domination 22 - Disgust, Transgression, and Sex 23 - Respectability 24 - Progress and Fear of the Feminine 25 - Shell Shock 26 - Nation, Race, and Hygiene 27 - The Art of Depression 28 - Homos and Harlots 29 - Second World War 30 - Bombs, Babies, and 'Burbs 31 - The Herd 32 - Taboo 33 - Consent 34 - Clarifications Bibliography Index of Names Index of Biblical References

Book SynopsisKrish Kandiah wants us all to take seriously Jesus's call to 'suffer the little children' by engaging with the needs of the many thousands of children up and down the country who are in care and whom the church could and should be helping.Krish and his wife Miriam have adopted and fostered children themselves and their experience - and that of the many others in this book - is very different from the popular myth which suggests social services seek to prevent Christians from getting involved. Krish argues that whatever the state's stance may be, it is a part of our calling as God's church to get involved where it's hardest, and to help these children out of the tough realities they find themselves in.Filled with stories from people who have adopted or were adopted themselves, alongside practical advice on how it all works and the challenges that will come, this book makes a compelling case that the church can and must make a difference in these children's lives, and asks us all to consider our response.Trade ReviewKrish and Miriam Kandiah write from a deep well of experience as they explore the landscape of adoption and fostering in today's culture. In this book they provide practical models to help anyone who has a vision to offer homes to some of the most vulnerable in our society. * Nicky Gumbel *Church of England pick of week * The Church of England *The more I read this book, the more I feel stirred to do my part...

Book SynopsisIt is not an accident that racism is alive and well in the American church. Racism has, in fact, been taught within the church for so long most of us don't even recognize it anymore. Pastor Albert Tate guides all of us in acknowledging the racism that keeps us from loving each other the way God intends and encourages siblings in Christ to sit together in racial discomfort, examining the role we may play in someone's else's struggle. How We Love Matters is a series of nine moving letters that educate, enlighten, and reimagine discipleship in a way that flips the church on its head. In these letters that include Dear Whiteness, Dear America, and Dear Church, Tate calls out racism in the world, the church, within himself and us. These letters present an anti-racist mission and vision for believers to follow that helps us to speak up at the family table and call out this evil so it will not persist in future generations. Tate believes that the only way to make change is by telling the truth about where we are-relationally, internally, and spiritually. How We Love Matters is an exposition of relevant Biblical truth, a clarion call for all believers to examine how they see and understand each other, and it is a way forward toward justice, reconciliation, and healing. Because, yes, it is important that we love each other, but it is even more important how we love each other.

Book SynopsisMany spiritual caregivers, including chaplains, spiritual directors and clergy, are unaware of how they can support people with chronic health conditions. This book combines insights on chronic illness with spiritual care skills and suggestions to enhance well-being for people living with long-term illness.Using a narrative approach, the author reflects on the stories of two women - Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz, who travels from Kansas (a state of health) to Oz (an illness experience), alongside the author's personal experiences of managing an incurable autoimmune disease. Chapters will include guidelines and exercises that help equip caregivers to facilitate healing with people who live with long-term health conditions.Trade ReviewThis eminently practical book draws upon an extraordinary breadth of research to describe with elegant simplicity how to spiritually care for chronic illness. With wisdom, compassion, and deep respect for spiritual differences, Arora creatively describes and illustrates the role of spiritual practices, meanings, and spiritual care relationships in journeys of healing through the twists and turns of living with chronic illness. -- Carrie Doehring, PhD Professor of Pastoral Care, Iliff School of Theology, author of The Practice of Pastoral Care: A Postmodern ApproachA must-read guide for spiritual care providers and all healthcare professionals.

Book SynopsisHealthcare chaplains working as part of interdisciplinary teams are frequently involved in contributing to discussions on all aspects of patients' wellbeing. This insightful collection of case studies shows how chaplains can effectively support patients and their families in making decisions regarding medical care, as well as for their spiritual needs.Reflecting the reality of medical decision-making, each case study follows a format where a chaplain and a non-chaplain (e.g. a doctor or a social worker) gives their response to the example considered, helping the reader to understand the chaplain's role in the decision making and how they can contribute constructively to the process. Adding another layer to the multifaceted role of the chaplain, this is essential reading for any chaplain in healthcare.Trade ReviewThis book provides wonderful case studies that will help practicing chaplains reflect on their work and those in training learn from some of the best.

Book SynopsisMaking the case for the relevance of pastoral care today, this book explores the role of pastoral care through the prism of music. Using musical analogies, the author provides a new way of understanding and practising pastoral care, grounded in practical theology. Challenging overemphasis on mission, he shows that pastoral care remains essential to the life of the church, especially when engaging with extreme situations such as dying, suffering or war, and considers the role of pastoral carers in the specific pastoral encounter and in the life of the church in general.Trade ReviewA haunting book. Clifton-Smith tenderly unsettles the church's modernist notions of mission with his musical and pastoral explorations of life in all its rawness. His use of musical form as a template for chaplaincy is lodged in my soul. I look forward to many variations and performances of this rich theme as his work reaches a wide, and appreciative, audience. -- Revd Canon Dr Margaret Whipp, Lead Chaplain, Oxford University HospitalsGregory Clifton-Smith's book is a rare and exceptional contribution to the field of pastoral theology - imaginative, inspired, creative and clever. The arena of pastoral theology is normally dominated by books that focus on reflection, applications or techniques, so it is refreshing to find a profound volume such as Performing Pastoral Care, offering such an original insight into how pastoral care can be both imagined and practised. Gregory Clifton-Smith's book is both wise and winsome, and will repay careful reading for all those engaged in mission and ministry. -- The Very Revd Prof. Martyn Percy, Dean, Christ Church, OxfordWe live in interesting and complex times. Modernity has given us choice and freedom to shape our destiny in many, often competing, directions. The Church is only one place where the shape of human experience is opened up and attended to in our struggle to flourish. This context provides us an opportunity to reimagine how theology and its practice might contribute to well-being. Performing Pastoral Care is a serious and substantial contribution to our understanding of this practice as it calls us all to rediscover our pastoral heart with imagination and creativity. Interdisciplinary in its focus - music and theology both blend and dialogue to provide a stimulating, intelligent and well-organised narrative. The reader is asked to look outwards through a number of lenses and using a variety of methods to engage with the paradoxes and ambiguities of human experience. It succeeds in providing a significant contribution to the literature around music and pastoral theology and its carefully organised chapters offer practical tools for the resourcing of the shapes of pastoral activity and performance. I hope that it will be widely used as part of the ongoing conversation about what might need to be transformed in and through us as we seek to reach out and serve our world and its peoples. I shall be adding it to core reading lists for my students. -- Dr James Woodward, Principal of Sarum CollegeTable of ContentsIntroduction. Part I.

Book SynopsisProviding guidance and advice on the challenging art of listening, this book responds directly to the expressed learning needs of hospice and palliative care volunteers regarding their communication skills in end-of-life care.Listening can be mentally, physically, and spiritually exhausting, often highlighted in books about hospice and palliative care but never taking the spotlight. This accessible companion provides hospice and palliative care workers with a variety of helpful insights and suggestions drawn from a solid base of current theoretical concepts and clinical research.With personal reflections on being listened to, the guide includes strategies for becoming a more effective listener, as well as exploring the challenges of listening, the need for self-care and spiritual and ethical considerations. By expanding their own capacity for empathy, compassion and understanding the wider narrative of illness, hospice and palliative care volunteers will become even better listeners in their essential roles.Trade ReviewIn what is an increasingly professionalized world, this practical guide is a rare thing: a book written to upskill volunteers which also acknowledges the vital contribution they make within modern healthcare. Delivering straightforward advice is an accessible style, Robert Mundle demonstrates how 'just' listening is never just listening; it is vital to any good healthcare. -- Revd Dr Steve Nolan, Princess Alice Hospice, Esher, and The University of Winchester, UKUsing a combination of compelling vignettes and reflective exercises, Robert Mundle provides readers with practical strategies to enhance their communication skills. Although directed to a hospice volunteer audience, this guide proves a useful resource for all involved in caring for those facing end of life. Mundle highlights the importance of creating space for the patient's voice to be heard. -- Shirley Otis-Green, MSW, MA, ACSW, LCSW, OSW-C, Founder and Consultant, Collaborative Caring, Toluca Lake, CARobert Mundle's book, How to Be an Even Better Listener is filled with 'pearls of wisdom' that can inform and guide hospice volunteers as they accompany patients, families and clients. He speaks beautifully to the art of listening and the gift of presence, and how stillness and self-awareness contribute to the richness of relationship for those we serve and we who serve.How to Be an Even Better Listener reminds us that we all have stories to tell and that we are connected by our longing to be seen and heard. I believe that reading this book and practising the craft of listening can deepen and enrich our relationships with each person we encounter. -- Nina Arbour, Community Education and Volunteer Services Manager, Hospice Services of St. Joseph Health, Hospice of Petaluma Memorial Hospice North County Hospice, USATable of ContentsForeword by Stephen Claxton-Oldfield.

Book SynopsisOffering a model of care that the church can use with survivors of sexual abuse, this supportive book is backed up by René Girard's Mimetic Theory throughout.The book proposes that the treatment survivors receive in churches could be greatly improved if instead of adding to a survivor's sense of guilt, difference or isolation or trying to change survivors' thoughts, feelings or behaviour they adopt the role of God as benevolent other. It shows that by adopting these beliefs churches can move past unintentional scapegoating of sexual abuse survivors and into a healing community where survivors feel included on churchgoers' journeys towards health and wholeness.Trade ReviewToo often churches confuse healing with conformity, pastoral care with the prescription of ideals, and located the problem with the survivor, not the community. Catherine Beaumont's stunning intervention shows how the problem is collectively owned in ways which stem from our rivalry with God and each other, and why support must begin in non-rivalrous love. Experientially, theoretically, and lovingly driven, this book should shape how we think about church. -- Dr Marcus Pound, Associate Professor of Catholic Theology, Durham UniversityWhat glorious sanity! Catherine Beaumont shows how the relationship between survivors of abuse and their Churches goes to the heart of the Gospel. Wonderfully clearly written, full of vivid local examples and the wisdom of lived experience. Any churchgoer could benefit personally from this book, as I did, yet no expert need be ashamed to learn from its pages. -- James Alison, Catholic Priest and TheologianDr Beaumont delivers a powerful call for change. While churches continue to protect their reputation for righteousness-framing survivors as 'problematic'-the damage of abuse is compounded. Her uplifting vision for Gospel communities that vindicate rather than scapegoat is modelled on God "who never comes against us".

Book SynopsisThere remains a lack of knowledge and understanding about trans people in the church, and trans people who are religious can experience bias in their faith communities. With the help of their many years of experience working with trans people negotiating their relationships with religious institutions, the authors (one of whom is trans) have created this accessible, valuable guide that will educate and improve churches' relationship with trans people.Combining first-hand interviews, the authors' own experiences and scripture analysis, this thought-provoking guide uses this combination of ancient and contemporary stories to outline a theology that welcomes and includes all people whatever their gender identity or sexual orientation. Written from this inclusive Christian perspective, the book answers questions about trans people that are specific to church communities.Trade ReviewHere is an invitation, written with honesty, openness and sensitivity, to walk with those on their gender journey, of hurts and hope, misunderstandings and truth, rejections and affirmation, to discover together the love of God, the identity we each have in Christ, and shared support of a Faith community around us. -- Revd Kevin Watson, former Moderator of the General Assembly of the United Reformed ChurchThis Guide should be mandatory reading for anyone in church leadership. It tackles head on many of the myths that have existed around trans people with searing honesty and courage, and sets out practical steps about how to pastorally support a community that is sadly so often under fire. I pray that this book will break our hearts and help us see how best to love such a precious part of Christ's body. -- Jayne Ozanne, Director of the Ozanne FoundationThrough stories of lived experience, the use of Scripture, and insightful commentary on contemporary discourse on gender, Tina and Chris have written a resource that challenges and encourages the reader on a timely and necessary journey towards a truly Trans inclusive theology and practice. -- Luke Dowding, Executive Director of OneBodyOneFaithTable of ContentsAcknowledgements; The Authors; Foreword by Dr Susannah Cornwall; Introduction; 1.

Book SynopsisCreated to counteract the spiritual imbalance that MI can cause, the Moral Injury Reconciliation (MIR) methodology is a 9-week, 3-phased spiritual care treatment, for Veteran and family transformation. This book presents this methodology as a trans-diagnostic approach for practitioners working with clients with MI, PTSD, grief and military sexual trauma.Using the language of reconciliation and spiritual transformation in the context of working therapeutically with Veterans, the author shows how chaplains and others involved in spiritual care can work on the assessment and therapy of those who have experienced MI during their combat experience. It reconciles past trauma, creates a focused 'here-and-now' present and anticipates a hopeful future through spiritual awareness, communication skills and altruism.Trade ReviewThis critically important work recognizes that moral injuries are spiritual in nature and thus require spiritual interventions. It also recognizes the unique tools that chaplains with a sound understanding of military culture and mental health issues bring to the healing journey.Who can better speak to the spiritual aspects of moral injuries than a Navy SEAL and chaplain? An outstanding resource for chaplains and other spiritual care providers that will ultimately benefit our morally injured veterans and their families greatly. -- Glenn R. Schiraldi, Ph.D., Lt. Colonel (USAR, Ret.) University of Maryland School of Public Health (Ret.) Resilience Training International (owner) and Author, U.S Military Academy, Class of 1969Moral Injury Reconciliation (MIR) transcends a 'symptom-focused' treatment orientation. Using a transdiagnostic approach featuring religious/spiritual foundations, MIR moves beyond single-diagnosis protocols. It addresses multiple diagnoses and targets the comorbidities found in active-duty and Veteran populations. MIR introduces a new paradigm in Veteran and mental healthcare. -- Harold G.

Book SynopsisThrough a rich variety of case studies, this book provides insight into the patient's needs and the chaplain's perspective, as well as discussions of spiritual assessments and spiritual care interventions. Case studies such as a request to baptise a child complicated due to his admission for 'psychiatric reasons', as well as work with military veterans, such as a female transgender veteran who has been alienated from her faith, show the breadth and complexity of work that chaplains undertake daily. Each section also includes critical responses to the case studies presented from a chaplain and related healthcare professional. This book will enable chaplains to critically reflect on the spiritual care they provide, and provide an informed perspective for healthcare professionals and others involved in chaplaincy services.Table of ContentsIntroduction: Autoethnography as a Research Method for Chaplain Case Study.

Book SynopsisPresenting clergy and chaplains with unique therapeutic tools for helping senior adults enrich their later years, this book gives advice on how to strengthen relationships, find meaning in life and feel comfortable approaching life's final chapter.It guides clergy and chaplains through how to effectively conduct "Soul Legacy" projects, in which older people reflect on what they want to leave behind for their loved ones and how they want to be remembered after they die. It enables older people to pay loved ones personal tributes and show them how important they are. By focusing on others rather than the self, it provides comfort for loved ones as well as the senior adult, prevents loneliness and negative feelings about ageing, and helps adults gradually become comfortable with the challenges of approaching the end of life.Trade ReviewIt is rare that deep wisdom and specific practice pour from the same tap-but they both indeed flow from Time to Talk About Dying. Rev. Fred Grewe and I have been friends for nearly forty years. We probably don't agree on everything, but I can attest to this: Fred has always possessed warm humour, a knack for storytelling (he used to be an actor) and most importantly, an uncommon curiosity about the intersection of God and the human soul. His many years as a chaplain have put a fine point on that twin-pursuit and have been leveraged in loving service for the dying. Every provider of spiritual care will find chunks of wisdom and tools for practical, professional growth -- Bishop Todd Hunter, Anglican Churches for the Sake of OthersThis important book should be read and considered by all who spend time with people at the end of their lives. Fred Grewe's insights and perspective have something to teach all of us. -- Wendy Cadge, Professor of Sociology, Brandeis UniversityI commend this book as such a helpful book for clergy and chaplains. Fred writes with typical honesty, insight and sensitivity as he recalls real stories and the impact they have clearly had on his life. I believe this book to be a seriously helpful tool in helping people to die as well as they can, leaving a healthy legacy and blessing in the lives of loved ones and friends who remain. -- Steve Prince, Pastor and Team Leader Brookside Church and Chaplain to Reading Football Club, UKGrewe offers practical wisdom that is useful to all of us who care for and serve seniors nearing the end of their lives. -- Susan W. Tolle MD, Professor of Medicine, Oregon Health & Science UniversityIn this book, Fred Grewe shares rich stories from his work as a hospice chaplain about the experiences of his patients and their loved ones as they grapple with the spiritual challenges that accompany dying. While contemplating our death can lead to a fuller life, Grewe's stories show that waning time and energy prevent some patients from engaging these important tasks. The Soul Legacy Seminars he describes give senior adults an opportunity to focus on the important lessons we can learn from our mortality. Grewe is a wise spiritual guide, and his book will enrich the care that chaplains and clergy provide for all of us, who by choice or necessity contemplate our final days. -- George Fitchett, Professor and Director of Research in the Department of Religion, Health, and Human Values, Rush University Medical CenterThis is a generative book, carefully written, well organised and rich in lived pastoral experience among those preparing for death. The chapters bear significant testimony to the author's experience. The use of personal experience is appropriate and sensitive. There is a practical wisdom here which can be trusted as it is applied with honesty and insight. -- James Woodward, Sarum College * Modern Believing *Table of ContentsAcknowledgements.

Book SynopsisThe Community of the Cross of Nails came into being as a result of the bombing of Coventry Cathedral in November 1940. Amid the destruction, two medieval nails were found lying in the shape of a cross – seen as a prophetic sign for the need of forgiveness and reconciliation, the people of Coventry offered forgiveness to the people of Germany at Christmas, just weeks after the bombing. Today, the Community of the Cross of Nails has 160 centres in 40 countries, working and praying to build peace, heal the wounds of history and enable people to grow together in hope through conferences, teaching in schools and prisons, and pilgrimages. This illustrated book tells its remarkable story from the beginning. It is also a work of contextual theology, offering reflection on the meaning of reconciliation in the contemporary world and relating experiences of imaginative forgiveness from Cape Town to Ground Zero. Published as part of Coventry Cathedral’s golden jubilee celebrations, this celebrates its continuing ministry of reconciliation.

Book SynopsisExploring both principles and best practice of the spiritual care of sick children and young people, this remarkable and inspiring book equips the reader to think critically and creatively about how to provide care in hospitals, hospices and other care contexts for ill and disabled children.Written for staff from any allied health discipline, the authors explore the potential spiritual needs and issues faced by sick children and young people. They provide evidence-based practice principles, and a range of activity-based interactions that empower the child or young person and expand discussion of meaning and identity. The book includes stories and multidisciplinary practice examples, as well as many ideas; practical activities; discussion of work with families, and also of the various tensions and issues that can emerge.Based on evidence-based practice and research carried out by the Chaplaincy Team at Birmingham Children's Hospital, the book will be helpful and inspiring reading for chaplains, nurses, play and youth workers, therapists and anyone else involved in the care of sick children and young people.Trade ReviewThis book demonstrates how essential it is to have spiritual care integrated in multi-professional practice to address this much neglected dimension of holistic care. With 27 years in the field, I am certain that a cancer diagnosis causes spiritual pain and suffering for children, young people and their families. In the modern western world, largely distrustful or disconnected from religion, we have lost our spiritual language. The authors offer us simple and effective tools to connect in a spiritual way with those we care for. If you are at all uncertain read page 149 first. -- Jeanette Hawkins RGN, RSCN, DPSN, MSc Advanced Nursing Practice, Assistant Director, CLIC SargentPaul Nash, Kathryn Darby and Sally Nash offer a book borne of the intense and awe-filled experience of listening to children and young people who have dis-ease. This is the kind of book I wish had been available when I became a pediatric chaplain over twenty years ago-examples, potential activities and most of all the spiritual reflection that can only be done by people who have been at the hospital bedside. It is in the act of play that we become who we truly are, and these playful activities aim to facilitate wholeness by helping children and youth connect with their core identity and become their healthy-whole-selves. -- Daniel H. Grossoehme, DMin, MS, BCC, Associate Professor of Pediatrics (Research) and Staff Chaplain III, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati, Ohio, USAThis handbook is a valuable and timely addition to the literature given that, today, much attention is being given to the role of spirituality in holistic health care and wellbeing. The topics are relevant and have been carefully informed by current research and the extensive use of story both illuminates and inspires the work. The writing is accessible and the wide array of activities and strategies offered by the authors make this book particularly useful for parents and care workers alike.' -- Marian de Souza, Chair, International Association for Children's SpiritualityThis is a recommended read and a much needed resource for anyone involved in caring for sick children and young people. For far too long there has been a deficit in this specific field and dimension of practice. The authors should be congratulated for providing an engaging and informative text supporting the integration of spiritual care within everyday practice all the while keeping the voice and needs of the sick child and young person and their families at the centre of all interaction. -- Wilf McSherry, Professor in Dignity of Care for Older People, Staffordshire University, The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust and Haraldsplass Deaconess University CollegeThis is a sensitively written handbook applicable for all health professionals caring for young people with an illness and their families. Based on current research and the experience of skilled spiritual care practitioners, this text comprises numerous practical examples and strategies that will provide a solid methodology and a valuable assessment guide for those wanting to add depth or another dimension to the quality of their care. -- Dr. Lindsay Carey, MAppSc, PhD, Research Fellow in Palliative Care and Head of Public Health Major, School of Psychology and Public Health, La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia, and Co-Editor, Health and Social Care Chaplaincy, UKThrust as I was on day one into the paediatric department, I was left to fend for myself in a field that I have since learnt has a unique set of parameters and skill-set required to fully engage with sick children, young people and their families. If you ever find yourself in the same boat- READ THIS BOOK FIRST!... [it] is sure to become required reading for any paediatric chaplain and I would commend it to anyone who wishes to engage holistically with sick children in their care. -- Ministry Today UKThe sad reality is that children get sick and sometimes die. This thoughtful and practical book offers ways in which we can help support the spiritual needs of children at those times. -- The Church of England - Child in the Mists Newsletter and network of Anglican Children and Youth AdvisersI wish I had had this book when I first became a hospital chaplain. Thrust as I was on day one into the paediatric department (on the grounds that I was the only chaplain who had children!) I was left to fend for myself in a field that I have since learnt has a unique set of parameters and skill-set required to fully engage with sick children, young people and their families. If you are ever in a similar boat to me - READ THIS BOOK FIRST. This book is sure to become required reading for any paediatric chaplain and I would commend it to anyone who wishes to engage holistically with sick children in their care.... Impressively structured, the authors weave together intelligent theological reflection, experienced praxis and case studies that illuminate the principles being revealed and discussed. -- William Ruddle * Ministry Today UK *The premise of this much needed handbook is that spiritual care is "easier to explore than to explain". It does this powerfully by recounting more than 40 verbatim accounts of "interpretive spiritual encounters" that the chaplains at Birmingham Children's Hospital (BCH) have had with Children and young people there... This is a useful, hopeful, and thought-provoking resource, which is well worth a complete read-through. It can also, however, be dipped into for clear, practical guidance by those who find themselves needing to lay solid foundations that will allow interpretative spiritual encounters to happen. -- Revd.
