When Hearts Become Flame: An Eastern Orthodox Approach to the Dia-Logos of Pastoral Counseling

This book is about the spirituality of personal encounter in and through Christ.    Pastoral dialogue involves an integrated mindful personal presence and interested unknowing that engages the other with the same vulnerability and alertness that one brings to God in prayer. Inner discernment and ascetical struggle along with existential engagement with and for others in working for a just and humane world are equally important in response to God's love given for all.  For an interview with the author on COEH TV at Columbus State University go to university vimeo.com/m/38325238
