What do we want? What does God want? God waits for our friendship. Believers are torn between a desperate thirst for this intimacy and a just-as-desperate fear. Popular writer and acclaimed spiritual director William Barry explores this paradox to help believers get past such obstacles as suffering, anger at God, shame at and sorrow for sin, the dark side of sexuality, fear of God's face, and fear of God's anger. Barry uses Jesus as the way to intimacy with God, reflecting on how Jesus experienced intimacy with his friends, in his ministry, and through his death and resurrection. Barry also deals with how to become closer to the historical Jesus then proposes the Trinity as a model of true intimacy. Drawing heavily from scripture, as well as literature, spiritual classics, and personal examples, this is a work of love, grace, and passion appropriate for all denominations. Christian seekers will be especially moved by it; it's also valuable reading for all clergy and religious, spiritual directors, Christian counselors, and anyone interested in Ignatian spirituality.

There is a commonly held perception that we don’t talk about money. Actually, we talk about it all the time—we are just having the wrong conversation. The result: finances fracture and even destroy many relationships. In this timely book, money expert Jacquette M. Timmons addresses the financial issues that couples face, examining how family background, personal choices, and socioeconomic and cultural influences affect the way women merge love and money. Encouraging women first to explore their own relationship with money, she provides a framework for an honest exchange of information so partners can understand each other’s personal financial stories, the many emotions money elicits in them, and their financial preferences, prejudices, and tolerance levels. In these uncertain economic times, more and more couples are learning the hard way that a lack of financial intimacy can sabotage even the best relationships. Timmons gives women the tools they need to take the lead in the financial dialogue so they can live wealthy and well with their partner—in good times and bad.

Government reform efforts usually focus on macro-level change heralded by new policies, programs, structures, and systems. Yet they tend to ignore that these reforms do not succeed without people. Public managers who form healthy working relationships built on trust are the micro-level change levers the necessary pre-condition to improving government. Buttressed by their real-world experience on the frontlines of a range of cases, the authors demonstrate the importance of values-based leadership. Chapters then focus on tools; the concrete ways in which leaders can improve themselves, their organizations, those they coach; and the teams they establish to build effective relationships and the trust essential to success. Surveying agencies both horizontally and vertically, The Trusted Leader also addresses how public managers can collaborate with political appointees and the legislative branch, all the while engaging with citizens through modern technologies to build exceptional customer experiences.

The volume outlines the 16-session course of therapy including termination and follow-up. This book will be of use to clinicians and directors of postgraduate psychology programmes, mental health training centres, psychiatric residency programmes and to students.
