Growth Through Meditation and Journal Writing

From book's back cover: "Growth Through Meditation and Journal Writing: A Jungian Perspective of Christian Spirituality shows how Jung's concept of the feminine aspect of human personality, or the receptive mode, is essential in the development of a mature adult spirituality. The author observes that many psychological problems of adulthood are symptomatic of a deeper spiritual concern, i.e., a search for life meaning and purpose and, ultimately, a search for God. The psychology of C.G. Jung provides a unique perspective to deal with this problem, because it offers a bridge between the scientific and religious aspects of human experience. This work presents seven dimensions of mature Christian spirituality, providing scriptural references, theological and psychological foundations, exercises in guided meditation and journal writing, as well as a brief bibliography for each dimension."
