Holmes's spiritual typology and her own experience as a spiritual director and pastoral counselor, Ware provides a framework for people to name and understand their spiritual experience-in much the same way the Myers-Briggs typology provides a framework for understanding personality types. Readers explore four spiritual types--head, heart, mystic, and Kingdom--and exercises allow individuals and groups to assess their type. Additional information for clergy to use this tool with congregations is included, which will help them gain greater understanding of how members learn about, worship, and celebrate God--and why there may be tension about such issues as the form or content of the worship service.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49510906003729,"sku":"GOR007671029","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50057369092369,"sku":"CIN1566991498G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50391198564625,"sku":"CIN1566991498A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51454815666449,"sku":"CIN1566991498VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51688076116241,"sku":"NIN9781566991490","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52343367958801,"sku":"NLS9781566991490","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53359751790865,"sku":"GOR013700236","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1566991498.jpg?v=1788862776"},{"product_id":"saint-benedict-on-the-freeway-book-corinne-ware-9780687046102","title":"Saint Benedict on the Freeway","description":"\u003cp\u003eHow can we heal the rift between our daily lives and the sacred? How can we live a life capable of hearing the still small voice of God while experiencing the speed and sensory overload of modern life? This book is Ware's answer to these questions. She acknowledges that others have addressed the questions. On the one hand there are books which have significant depth but speak in academic or in-group language and provide little help adapting these insights to everyday life. On the other hand, there are practical how-to exercises which assist in very particular spiritual experiences but which do not offer integrated, sustainable, life-changing patterns. \u003cem\u003eSt. Benedict on the Freeway \u003c\/em\u003efills this gap. It translates into twenty-first century life spiritually formative practices worked out in the past, creatively adapting those disciplines to contemporary daily life.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis adaptation is the heart of Ware's book. She attempts first to draw attention to our own awareness of God. She discusses how a Rule functioned for Benedict's time, and how it can function for us as a liberating reminder of God instead of as another repressive and burdensome taskmaster. Ware also asks how the hours of prayer--vigils, lauds, prime, terce, sext, none, vespers, compline--can increase our spiritual awareness even if our 'community' does not stop for prayer at designated times during the day. Also, Ware explores prayer in dimensions beyond the spoken word.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe author targets what she terms something more-people: those who want to grow spiritually but do not know how to do so. Typically these people go on retreats and hear inspirational speakers, but their everyday lives lack the luster of those occasional times. They go from one spiritual oasis to another, wishing for something that will sustain them in between. \u003cem\u003eSt. Benedict on the Freeway \u003c\/em\u003eresponds to this yearning as both a book for personal reading and a resource for small groups in the church.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49992985051409,"sku":"GOR009516031","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50360077517073,"sku":"CIN0687046106G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50360081088785,"sku":"CIN0687046106VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52482560033041,"sku":"NLS9780687046102","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52736255557905,"sku":"NIN9780687046102","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53200845406481,"sku":"GOR014804117","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0687046106.jpg?v=1781172574"},{"product_id":"connecting-to-god-book-corinne-ware-9781566991834","title":"Connecting to God","description":"Although spiritual growth occurs within an individual, Ware explains that it is the calling of the congregation to be a community of support and encouragement. Indeed, it is amidst the support of a group that an individual learns how to live out personal faith. Ware provides a very practical and accessible model of spiritual formation for self-directing groups that can be led by clergy or laity. Includes thorough guidelines, do's and don'ts, and ground rules for the successful pursuit of spiritual growth in small groups","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50382530019601,"sku":"CIN1566991838G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51688076149009,"sku":"NIN9781566991834","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52410193084689,"sku":"NLS9781566991834","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53364110328081,"sku":"CIN1566991838VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1566991838.jpg?v=1756101370"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-corinne-ware.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
