Inhaltsangabe

Connecting. . .disconnecting. . .reconnecting So goes the ageless pattern of relationships. We love/hate, hurt/heal, fight/forgive and we turn to TV talk shows, therapists, friends, and books to help us understand our relationship problems. Lyn Brakeman, a therapist herself, looks to the stories of ancient Scripture for fundamental clues to healing our relationships. Using the Jewish interpretive storytelling technique known as midrash, she brings to life a God who is ""in the middle of things."" Her unusual take on the God Between Us, the Great connector who reconnects us with the love and the faith to go on, takes lively form in six relationship studies--of mother/daughter, marriage partners, man/woman, mother/son, two men, and a group of women. Reflection questions at the end of each chapter add a rich dimension for individual or group use.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Lyn Brakeman is a retired Episcopal priest and alumna of Smith College and Yale Divinity School. Her mother called her a "miracle" from God. Under pressure to be miraculous and free from excessive maternal praise, Brakeman sought refuge in her favorite book, The Little Book About God, by Lauren Ford. She talked to God, who always listened and never talked back. Brakeman took this God into her heart as accompanist and instructor in her search for wisdom from life experience--motherhood, marriages, divorces, church politics, silent retreats, psychotherapy and spiritual direction, travel, and writing. She is also the author of two books of midrash and a memoir.
