Review Summary: Clinebell's basic spiritual needs are still pertinent in 2008
Date: 2008-10-24
Details: Clinebell's book is a detailed guide to help ministers and seminary students develop maximum skills in basic caring and counseling techniques. I am neither a minister nor a seminary student, but I find his identification of basic spiritual needs pertinent today, in both my personal and professional life. Satisfying spiritual needs strengthens our connection with God, our fellow human beings, Mother Earth and our inner selves, our souls. We cannot satisfy our spiritual needs in isolation. The book identifies different view from psychotherapy and counseling. It provided me with insights about my own spiritual growth.
