Being There

“Peter Keese has invited us to pull up a rocking chair with him as he shares his stories from what feels like his front porch. Always reflective, sometimes confessional, and occasionally didactic, he offers the wisdom of a professional life well lived as a CPE educator. Peter has offered a wonderful and warm memoir that offers insight and inspiration to anyone interested in faithfully offering spiritual care and education.”

Dutiful Love

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Elizabeth Hinson-Hasty has done something truly remarkable for the field of Christian ethics in this book. Not only has she conducted rigorous research and provided thoughtful analysis, she also offers a variety of resources to move her intellectual work into the lived experiences of faith communities. This work fills a gap, one known all too well by those of us like her who have siblings with serious mental health conditions.”

Liberalism and Colonial Violence

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“For decades, scholars and practitioners have explored the many ways spiritual care can better attend to human differences. Hellena Moon takes us deeper. Moving beyond the assumptions about the inherent goodness of the practices and theory, Moon challenges the assumptions upon which spiritual care has been based. No longer accepting the colonialist presumptions that informed its construction, Moon carefully deconstructs these premises, offering refreshing and vital insights into the practical, pedagogical, and administrative implications for a decolonized framework of spiritual care.”

Postcolonial Images of Spiritual Care

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“The field of spiritual care has turned a significant corner from its origins, and this volume will help chart a more inclusive, appreciative course for educators, practitioners, and students. Beginning in Africa—the source of human origins—and concluding with connections to our global climate, the authors decenter rationalist hegemony, providing a variety of lenses through which the reader can imagine spiritual care as practices of mutuality, reverence, and hope.”

Postcolonial Practices of Care

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Building on their earlier compilation, Moon and Lartey surpass their stated goals in this text by not only providing powerful, diverse examples of spiritual care but also caring through their transformative critique for the broken systems where those practices are so deeply needed.”
