New book

Hello, companion Mustard Seed Library supporters,

Just to let you know I'm not giving up on the idea of book club blog to try to learn more communally about discernment of what books to put into the Mustard Seed Library. Sunday Joyce brought 5 more books and one of them is "How to Pray for Spiritual Growth: A Practical Handbook of Inner Healing." The author, Theodore E. Dobson, (the book was written in 1982) was then and maybe still is now Spiritual Director for the Charismatic Renewal as well as Consultant to Parishes on Spiritual Growth in the Archdiocese of Denver, Colorado. Published by Paulist Press. Actually the preface is pretty interesting. The challenge will be to pick out just short quotes from the different chapters. The final chapter is on general healing services. This is the kind of book which might be helpful also to lay people in Stephens Ministry--not directive book but writing about principles and "ways" into praying for spiritual growth. Could help lay caregivers be with others in a more understanding and supportive way as both care receivers and care givers are led into spiritual growth in the ways of God. The author himself experienced healing. Back to sewing.
God bless,
Sharon
