{"product_id":"9781441236234","title":"Spirituality and the Awakening Self: The Sacred Journey of Transformation","description":"Being human is a lifelong journey of becoming. This journey defines our humanity, for it is a journey toward our source and our fulfillment, described in Christian theology as union with God. If we remain open to God as our sense of self awakens, we experience a deeper consciousness of being in him. The self that emerges during this process is larger, more enlightened, and whole.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDavid Benner, who has spent thirty-five years integrating psychology and spirituality, presents psychological insights in a readable fashion to offer readers a deeper understanding of the self and its spiritual development. Drawing on a broad range of Christian traditions, Benner shows that the transformation of self is foundational to Christian spirituality. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book will appeal to readers interested in a psychologically grounded, fresh exploration of Christian spirituality; professionals engaged in pastoral care, counseling, and spiritual direction; and students in ministry development and spiritual formation courses. Questions and answers for individual or group use are included at the end of each chapter.","brand":"Baker Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47128292950256,"sku":"9781441236234","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781441236234_p0.jpg?v=1763793354","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781441236234","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
