Product Description
A practical approach to address spiritually crippling disappointment with the church!
Feeling disappointment with your church can be spiritually devastating.
Living Faithfully with Disappointment in the Church
gives you a theological and family therapy approach to disillusionment in the church that is practical and realistic. The author, an ordained minister and a licensed family therapist, discusses with sensitivity and hope the problems and the ways to resolve issues of spiritual disappointment.
Living Faithfully with Disappointment in the Church
uses a theological basis to lay a foundation of understanding, and then provides real strategies from a family therapy perspective to deal with personal disappointments in the church. The book sensitively discusses real problems using real examples of how church dynamics can unwittingly cause spiritual disillusionment within even the most faithful, even in diligent attempts to serve God. Honest, reverent, and written from the perspective that each of us needs the church to cultivate our faith, this book provides non-simplistic yet hopeful answers to the most difficult of problems. Find comfort in these pages.
Living Faithfully with Disappointment in the Church
discusses:
idealism about the church
how churches function according to the dynamics of family systems
how a controlling family affects church dynamics
people who become codependent to the church
adjustment to belief structures within the church
addictive processes in organizations
the psychological danger zone of failed beliefs
how to recognize when to stay and when to move on to another church
considerations for someone in a denominational crisis
the uses of spirituality and religion in psychologically healthy ways
a theoretical model that gives priority to building a relational church
Living Faithfully with Disappointment in the Church
is for ministers, chaplains, seminary students, pastoral counselors, Sunday school teachers, or anyone that is facing a spiritual crisis in their church. Each chapter includes questions for reflection and discussion.
