Overview

How do we become more spiritually intelligent and feel more alive and aware? What is the knowledge, and what are the life experiences, that can deepen our connection to the divine while strengthening our relationships and our sense of meaning and purpose? In this book, the author draws on his years of experience in major medical centers as a spiritual care provider, educator, and bioethicist. He captures the contribution of both difficult and transformative social events in America while discussing the fascinating evolution of psychology, theology, and quantum physics over recent decades. And he draws from his own journey of moving through and beyond his early religious training and beliefs to capture a far more meaningful--and spiritually intelligent--perspective.

This book is an intimate account of a personal and professional journey that explores spiritual care as an act of healing and social justice. Tim weaves the shadow side of religious upbringing and training together with the courage to embrace deep learning and spiritual change. Contemporary life is calling for new pathways to spiritual awakening, and this book is a wonderful guide. --Ruth A. Mickelsen, Center for Bioethics, University of Minnesota Based on a lifelong career as a spiritual-care provider and educator, Tim Thorstenson takes readers beyond the confines of traditional orthodoxy toward an 'evolutionary spirituality' where all are welcome and all can grow, from the novice in spiritual reflection to the most learned scholar. Be prepared as you read--prepared to hear a prophetic voice invite you to a new place beyond belief. --Howard D. Stendahl, 17th Chief of Chaplains, United States Air Force, retired This book is written by a master in the field of spiritual care and education.
