Summary: Weaving together My Story, Our Story, and God's Story
Comment: My husband, a part-time youth minister introduced me (a priest) to this book. We both *loved* it. It says a lot of stuff that makes sense in ways we might not every have realized before. It will change the way I do both baptisms and marriage preparation--and I'm not even finished with it yet.

Summary: Essential Reading For Pastors
Comment: Anderson and Foley have really produced a master piece in the area of pastoral care. They have been able to bring to light the stories and the importance thereof in our postmodern culture.
Their dealing with events on which which our church tradition is silent is also most helpful.
It gives one the tools for exploring effective pastoral care.

Summary: An excellant book for pastors and lay Christians
Comment: This book is an insightful examination of the very human tendency to look at our lives through the stories we tell and the rituals we share. Using the two perspectives of story telling in the form of myth and parable Anderson and Foley explore how our stories motivate the rituals we perform both liturgically and in our day to day lives. In doing so we find how our humaness can weave with the divine. Understanding this is what can lead effective pastoral care. They review corporate rituals of baptism, marraige and funeral, but also discuss the need for ritual in the context of divorce, miscarraige and chronic illness. They also discuss reconciliation as an honest process of listening to the stories of others. This book is highly recommended for pastors and Christian lay persons.
