Every age needs figures of spiritual inspiration, but in times of recession and uncertainty they are essential in helping us to rise above despair and to search for God deep within ourselves. In this new book, Michael Ford invites four spiritual masters onto the same stage for the first time and shows how they speak, not only to our own times, but for all seasons. Thomas Merton, Henri Nouwen, Anthony de Mello and John O'Donohue all died suddenly at the height of their fame as spiritual masters, but they continue to have immense followings. What was their secret and why do their legacies endure? Through unpublished interviews with some of the authors themselves, encounters with their friends, and reflections from readers who have been inspired by their writings, Michael Ford journeys across the United States and Europe to assess their place in the world of contemporary spirituality. He goes behind the scenes of the Abbey of Gethsemani in Kentucky to hear first hand from monks who were novices under Merton; visits Lambeth Palace in London to discover Merton's influence on the Archbishop of Canterbury; talks to people about how Nouwen, the proverbial wounded healer, helped them through depression because he had suffered himself; speaks to Jesuits who worked with de Mello in India and tries to find out how close the international storyteller came to Buddhism; and takes a walk with O'Donohue through landscapes in rural Ireland that feature in such books as Anam Cara and discusses the appeal of Celtic spirituality. Blending the spiritual with the journalistic, Michael Ford presents four unique writers as "Spiritual Masters for All Seasons." +

The Emerging Laity written by Aurelie A. Hagstrom and has been published by Paulist Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2010 with Religion categories.
One of the best-kept secrets in the church is the story of the emergence of the Catholic laity from "pray, pay, and obey" passive spectators to men and women assuming their rightful roles in liturgy, ministry, and other church functions. This evolution is not merely a response to the ever dwindling number of priests and thus the need for others to assume these functions, but is primarily a recognition of the laity's call to serve through the sacrament of baptism in which they all share. In this well-researched book, Aurelie Hagstrom describes the emergence of the laity during the twentieth century and presents a compelling theology of the laity based on scripture, on a renewed understanding of the sacrament of baptism and, especially, on the great watershed in church thinking brought about by the Second Vatican Council. She assures Catholic lay persons that their everyday lives are the "stuff" by which they attain a holiness that is as valid as that lived by clergy and religious. Book jacket.

What is a spiritual master? Spiritual Masters of the World's Religions offers an important contribution to religious studies by addressing that question in the context of such themes as charismatic authority, role models, symbolism, and categories of religious perception. The book contains essays by scholar-practitioners on the topic of spiritual masters in Judaic, Christian, Islamic, Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Confucian, and Daoist traditions. It provides a full spectrum of exemplars, including founders, spiritual masters who highlight cultural themes, and problematic figures of modern times. To define spiritual master, the work of Max Weber, Mircea Eliade, Daniel Gold, and Bruce Lincoln is referenced to provide a balanced notion that includes both religionist and reductionist perspectives. This book takes readers from the past spiritual masters to the future of masters of any sort, posing food for thought about the future of master-disciple relationships in an emerging age of egalitarian sentiments.

This study examines an existential approach to therapy, one which appears to reflect and move in synchronicity with lifes flow, rendering it a highly valid and effective response to the existential anguish that has engulfed the mind-set of the twenty-first century. The writer endeavors to explore a number of key existential themes, such as death, freedom, isolation, and meaning. Existentialism presents possibilities and a freedom to be, emanating out of personal responsibility for ones life choices. The movement has evolved over the decades, and countless theologians, philosophers, and psychologists have built on the deposits of knowledge and life experience of our ancestors. The purpose of this research is to explore the theme of spirituality set within an existential framework and to examine the role of the counsellor in dealing with existential and spiritual concerns within this sacred space. The writer suggests that counsellors have a duty of care to explore spiritual and existential issues with the patient. Existential counsellors must explore in depth their own spirituality in order to fully understand the true nature of man. The writer values the existential emphasis on freedom and responsibility and the persons capacity to redesign his or her life by choosing with awareness. The effective counsellor can only lead or direct a client toward his or her spiritual core, leaving the ultimate decision with the individual whether to accept or reject this spiritual dimension. The writer suggests that it is the presence of spirit within the spiritual encounter that heals, transforming and integrating man into wholeness. The author urges the counsellor to humbly embrace this opportunity to explore and encounter the spiritual dimension within the therapeutic relationship as a core counselling objective.
