Again for those who like theology that takes psychological theory into account, this is a gentle and helpful discussion. Tournier wrote numerous books. Another favorite of mine is titled, The Strong and the Weak. Some have gone out of print, but you can often find used copies. Really worth your time!

I really love Paul Tournier's books! While this one isn't as good as the others, there are still so many gems in it that's worth reading.

Interesante sobre todo los primeros capítulos sobre la meditación y la necesidad de generar un ambiente de confianza para que las personas se abran. Aunque se repiten bastante las ideas. Es un formato de recopilación de conferencias y entrevistas.
