Everyone endures waiting: often impatiently, sometimes anxiously, sometimes with giddy excitement. Filled with prayers and reflections from times of waiting, this inspiring volume suggests that waiting presents an opportunity to turn to fellowship with God and listen to God's nudging in whatever situation you find yourself.
In a world where there is so much food, why are so many people hungry? Amidst so much plenty, why aren't people happier? Jung insists that the two questions -- one having to do with physical hunger, the other with spiritual want -- are related. After assessing aspects of a global food policy that insures chap food for some at great expense to others, the author offers possibilities for alleviating physical hunger in the world and spiritual malaise in our lives.

By weaving together our narratives and those of Christian tradition, a congregation can clarify its identity, grow in wisdom, and discover a new vision for ministry. Olsen draws parallels between the church seasons and practices of spiritual formation — letting go, naming and celebrating God's presence, and taking hold. He shows us how these movements are expressed in the three major cycles of the church year — Christmas, Easter, and Pentecost.
Have you heard the revolutionary new equation: the ancient Church year + fresh congregational stories = wisdom for revitalized ministry! In The Wisdom of the Seasons, Charles Olsen expounds this exciting development — not just a glittering fancy, but an authentic discovery of a Spirit-filled process to grow healthier congregational mission.
