Recalling Our Own Stories: Spiritual Renewal for Religious Caregivers
Recalling Our Own Stories, which author Edward P. Wimberly describes as “a spiritual retreat in book form,” is designed to help clergy and religious caregivers face the challenges of ministry. It is also a valuable resource for practitioners who assist these clergy and caregivers in meeting the challenges of their work.
Wimberly offers a way to renew one’s motivation for ministry by reconnecting to one’s original call, tapping the sources of renewal that reside in the faith community.
