What happens internally when we listen to another human being in need? This is a question that arose from the pastoral experience of a team in a hospice. This book by Bob Whorton offers an ‘imaginative’ listening to the author’s pastoral experience.
Reflective Caring will introduce you to the innovative method of ‘soul reflection’ – a technique aimed at transforming people’s lives. ‘Soul reflection’ can be defined as an objective inference of our inner reactions. If we apply this principle, we can become a more fulfilled, wholesome version of ourselves.
