Informationen zum Autor John J. Shea was professor of psychology and religion, human development, pastoral counseling, and pastoral care at Fordham University and Boston College. Klappentext Growing out of two decades of teaching and practice, Finding God Again: Spirituality for Adults addresses, in an experiential and pastoral way, the need to re-envision God as we grow from an adolescent to adult spirituality. Shea, a renowned pastoral counselor and teacher, shows how we can lose touch with religion, spirituality, and a belief in God because of times when our image of God is too narrow, unreal, or inadequate to make sense of our experience. Real life stories illustrate Shea's life-changing challenge to leave behind the Superego God of childhood in favor of a Living God we can relate to as adults.
