Urgings of the Heart: A Spirituality of Integration

We all know that painful feeling of being at war with ourselves, and we are constantly on the lookout for ways to make ourselves whole. But some of our most common ways of striving for wholeness are dead ends. There’s codependency (a betrayal of wholeness), envy (a hankering for wholeness), workaholism (a barrier to wholeness), and perfectionism (a faux-wholeness). In this work of spiritual and psychological integration, Wilkie Au and Noreen Cannon weave together insights from Jesus and psychiatrist Carl Jung and show that faith and psychology, far from being worlds apart, bring genuine transformation when they move together.
