In doing so, he makes the case that the Christian church, in its own traditions, has a wealth of wisdom about satisfying spiritual hunger and the desire to know God deeply - wisdom that offers coherent, thoughtful guidance in such diverse settings as congregational life, families, youth groups, and higher education." "This edition includes a study guide by Syd Hielema, a new foreword by Dorothy C. Bass, and a new preface by the author. It is ideal for clergy, Christian educators, spiritual directors, and all who are interested in finding guidance in their quest for a genuine encounter with God."--Jacket.  aAPPE gift.5InGrD 0aChristian educationxPhilosophy. 0aChristian lifexPresbyterian authors. 7aChristian educationxPhilosophy.2fast0(OCoLC)fst00859041 7aChristian lifexPresbyterian authors.2fast0(OCoLC)fst01750776
