There is a call to harness greater joy and laughter for instance, to help support the learning process within the classroom. This is with the hope of encouraging and enabling self-awareness and self-revelation.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is revolutionary too in its style and approach. For instance, the use of Brené Brown’s paradigm for wholehearted living (courage, compassion, connection) is explored here as a means for triggering the crafting and direction of pastoral relationships. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book provides a reflective and engaging exploration of Clinical Pastoral Education and is a must have for anyone with more than a passing interest in it, in pastoral (practical) theology and ministry, as a whole. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang International Academic Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56585223635288,"sku":"9781803748672","price":38.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/clinical-pastoral-education-coming-home-to-self","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
