The Creative Years

by Reuel L. Howe

Are you disturbed by the inner battle between your constant preoccupation with security and your basic awareness of your potential for a mature and creative life? In The Creative Years, Reuel Howe, who is recognized as one of America’s outstanding counselors in the field of personal relationships, brings to his readers an awareness of the power within us for coping with the problems and crises of life that we allow to drain us of our creativity. He demonstrates the fact that by heeding G0d’s command to understand, love, and care for others-to broaden and strengthen our relationships—our adult years will become, indeed, our creative and most rewarding years. Whether you are a young person making de- cisions about a career and marriage, a parent concerned with the welfare of the family, or any adult trying to attain the pleasures and deep satisfactions of a mature life, you will find that this book is addressed to you. Reuel Howe has the ability to convey through the printed word the meanings of life as they flow in and out, to and from every age, and every kind of relation- ship. Pastors, family counselors, youth advisers, parents, teachers-—all will find in this book, which correlates the insights of the social and medical sciences with the insights of the basic Gospel teaching, the help they need in guiding persons of all ages to true maturity.
