Recalling Our Own Stories: Spiritual Renewal for Religious Caregivers
by Edward P. Wimberly
Wimberly's "spiritual retreat in book form" helps those who care for the spirituality of others care for themselves. He leads the reader into examining their own lives and discover the "mythologies" (love this term) that we function out of that are in our peripheral vision. Naming these mythologies allows us to change them over time, resulting in a renewal of calling and a refreshment of the job ahead of us, avoiding burnout.
The questions in this book are so valuable, as Wimberly leads the reader through discovering her/his/their own mythologies and how to dismantle them. These questions and the multiple examples he shares are helpful in demonstrating how to use the materials he presents.
I'd recommend this book to anyone who works with people, especially those in ministry or working with ministers regularly. There's really good stuff here.
