Henri Nouwen: A Spirituality of Imperfection Customer Review: A Rich Resource for Nouwen lovers
Since reading “The Way of the Heart” in 1989, Nouwen’s writings have been a source of refreshment, encouragement and direction to me in my spiritual and ministry journey. Wil Hernandez’s comprehensive and deeply integrative work in “A Spirituality of Imperfection” has deepened my appreciation for Nouwen’s unique impact in our generation. Whether you’ve walked with Nouwen for a while, or are new to his writings, I would encourage you to buy and read this book. It’s breadth and readability is quite remarkable.

The Spirituality Of Welcoming: How to Transform Your Congregation into a Sacred Community So often we want our congregations to be more–more compelling, more member-focused, more spiritual and yet more useful for our daily lives. Through reflection, examples, tips and exercises–and incorporating the fruits of Synagogue 2000 (now Synagogue 3000), a groundbreaking decade-long program investigating the challenges facing modern synagogues–this inspiring handbook both establishes a sound foundation for why a deep hospitality is crucial for the survival of today’s spiritual communities, and dives into the practical hands-on how of turning your congregation into a place of invitation and openness that includes:

Prayer that is engaging, uplifting and spiritually moving
* Institutional deepening that is possible because of an openness to change
* Study that engages adults and families, as well as children
* Good deeds–the work of social justice–as a commitment of each and every member
* An ambience of welcome that creates a culture of warmth and outreach
* Healing that offers comfort and support at times of illness and loss
* … and much more.

Customer Review: The Spirituality of Welcoming: How to Transform Your Congregation into a Sacred Community
This book provides a very “nuts and bolts” approach to the issue of integrating new members to a congregation as well as consolidating relationship with all members. Great resource, not only for synagogues, but for other faith communities as well.

Psyche and the Sacred: Spirituality Beyond Religion Describes an approach to spirituality that is based on personal experience of the sacred rather than upon any pre-existing religious doctrine or dogma. Using the language and insights of depth psychology, it describes the intimate relationship between sacred experience and the psychology of the individual, revealing the seamless continuity of personal and transpersonal levels of the psyche. This work contributes to the emergence of the new myth that is arising alongside the Judeo-Christian tradition.
