Reviews
Margaret Kornfeld s excellent, encyclopedic book, Cultivating Wholeness, addresses the very real need for expert, accessible, and wise guidance. Kornfeld provides both a broad and thorough discussion of key issues that leaders of faith communities and lay caregivers regularly face. Not only does she analyze pragmatic matters such as clergy confidentiality, unemployment, and fee-taking but she also sensitively attends to the spiritual well-being of the counselor in community. A wide range of readers, lay and ordained, will welcome Kornfeld s clear and thoughtful presentation. In a pastor s study filled with care and counseling books, this is the best guide of its kind I know. Keep it handy on your shelf. Congregations, Fall 2005--Congregations
A book you will pull off the shelf many times for additional reference.... With many self-help books full of 'new age' methodologies on the market, this book provides a sound antidote. The Princeton Seminary Bulletin
A tour de force.... Kornfeld's treatment of listening, women's needs, clergy confidentiality, unemployment, fee-taking, and the health and spirituality of the 'counselor in community' is brilliant. --Christian Century A state-of-the-art guide for all who minister today! --Catholic Library World A wise, humane, and practical book about healing in religious communities. --Values and Visions
