In focussing on God’s unconditional love, this book is very much in tune with the current Year of Mercy. It has been described as a compassionate book that weaves together insights from both Christian spirituality and contemporary psychotherapy. The Christian narrative is reinforced throughout the book. It asserts without qualification that God's love is merciful and seeks to soften our troubled hearts and to quiet the anxiety that drives our need to do everything just right. Shame, claimed to be the “master emotion” and described as feelings of unworthiness, has the capacity to seep into everyone’s life. It resides in feelings of inadequacy and expresses itself in a range of negative behaviours. The authors of this book who have had over thirty years of experience in the work of therapy and spiritual direction, provide a way to shatter the shackles of shame. They invite the reader to engage with Scripture in an imaginative contemplative way so as to hear the assurance of God’s unconditional love. Each chapter presents a holistic spirituality and offers useful spiritual exercises and points for reflection. Recommended uses of this book Those involved in Christian counselling groups Those working with people affected by imprisonment; both those serving time and family members, spouses or friends of those in prison. Pastors especially those working with people seeking deep healing. Hospital chaplains.
