A COAT OF MANY COLOURS

Pastoral studies of the Christian way of life.

A GENTLE TOUCH: FROM A THEOLOGY OF HANDICAP TO A THEOLOGY OF BEING HUMAN

MAN'S SEARCH FOR MEANING
Viktor Frankl
Pocket Books/Dec 97. ISBN 0-671-02337-3.
Out of the incredible suffering and degradation of three years at Auschwitz and other Nazi prisons, and the discovery that almost his whole family had been wiped out, Dr. Frankl developed his theory about the will to meaning. An excellent book concerned with finding meaning in the worst suffering.

MUD & STARS
Sobell/Nov 91. ISBN 0-9517537-2-X.
A very readable report on the impact of hospice experience on the Church's ministry of healing. Much food for thought.

PRACTICAL THEOLOGY IN ACTION: CHRISTIAN THINKING IN THE SERVICE OF CHURCH AND SOCIETY

SPCK/Nov 96. ISBN 0-281-05012-0.

THE BLACKWELL READER IN PASTORAL AND PRACTICAL THEOLOGY
James Woodward & Stephen Pattison (Ed)
Blackwell/Dec 99. ISBN 0-631-20745-7.
The editors of this rich collection of essays take pains to differentiate "pastoral" or "practical" theology from the more academic, arcane variety. What it means, they say, is finding ways to link religious teaching to everyday practice, to move from being a student of the Gospels to teaching, living and working guided by its teachings.

THE STATURE OF WAITING
W.H. Vanstone
DLT/Nov 82. ISBN 0-232-51573-5.
Gives a very positive way of understanding suffering, ill-health and old age through an examination of the passion narratives. Well worth reading.
