|  | There Is a Season by Joan D. Chittister, John A. Swanson
There Is A Season provides a glorious meditation in art and words on the famous passage from the Bible. Exploring timeless themes of the purpose and value of human life. Joan Chittister reflects on John Swanson`s art, which in turn illustrates her text. There Is A Season shows how human fulfillment and true happiness come, not from getting and having more and more - the fancy house, the big promotion, the perfect family - but from knowing and valuing that which we have. Friendship and laughter, patience and sorrow, humility and compassion, from birth through death - all these are God`s gifts to us, the precious moments of life itself. AUTHOR: Joan D. Chittister, John A. Swanson

 | The Five Stages of the Soul by David Carroll, Harry R. Moody
Following the approach modeled by Gaily Sheehy's Passages , Harry Moody has developed a schematic for spiritual aging. Drawing on 20 years of field research, as well as his experience as co-founder and executive director of Hunter College's Brookdale Center on Aging, Moody has developed a schema of spiritual development around five specific stages in the search for meaning. These stages typically include: 1) the call, 2) the search, 3) the struggle, 4) the breakthrough, and 5) the return. In addition to this schema, Moody recounts the personal stories of people who have passed through these five stages, adding to their testimonies the insights drawn from religion, myth, literature, and psychology. The result is a detailed road map with which to pursue the quest for meaning and self-discovery. AUTHOR: David Carroll, Harry R. Moody
