 | Journey Out of the Garden by Susan W. McMichaels
St. Francis of Assisi -- the image that comes to mind is that of a garden statue with a bird perched on his arm. But the real St. Francis struggled throughout his life to answer two simple questions: Who are you, God, and who am I? Using Carl Jung's scientific discoveries about human consciousness, this fascinating new book describes St. Francis' struggle to break away from his comfortable milieu, follow his own heart, and ultimately see that he and God were one. Drawing on St. Francis' own writing, lives of the saints, legends, art, and modern historical scholarship, the author examines in each chapter an aspect of Francis' psycho- spiritual journey in the context of Jungian psychological individuation.

 | My Journey by Robert Harold Schuller
Dr. Robert H. Schuller's career has spanned more than five decades, and his ministry of hope has touched the hearts and souls of millions around the world. From one great story to the next, this disarmingly honest autobiography shows us a side of the great preacher that we haven't seen before. Here are stories of the events, people, and encounters that shaped his inspiring life and made him the ultimate possibility thinker.Stepping down from the pulpit, Schuller evokes the strict Dutch Calvinist culture of his youth, his early sermons and successes evangelizing from the roof of the snack bar at the rented drive-in theater where his ministry took off, and how he was shunned by traditionalists in his denomination for taking Christian preaching where it had never gone before. Dr. Schuller shares insights on how his positive thinking philosophy helped him through the difficult moments of his life, and recounts meetings with great world teachers such as preachers Norman Vincent Peale and Billy Graham, psychiatrist Karl Menninger, and global leaders Mikhail Gorbachev and Bill Clinton. Schuller shares his own spiritual journey as he reflects on his personal life and relationships, charting how he blended the good news of the Gospel with the best of modern psychology. My Journey is a genuinely inspirational and quintessentially American story. AUTHOR: Robert Harold Schuller
