We live in a world divided by ideological differences, political positions, and firmly held religious beliefs. These differences often spill over into racial and ethnic suspicion and hatred. We live in a world many believe is becoming more divided every day. Confession is Good for More than the Soul, offers a solution in this divisive world. With the help of a 220-page workbook, it teaches how to uncover and let go the clutter collected in our psyches during our powerless lives as children, through our fragile teenage years and into our frequently self-righteous adulthood. It assists us in examining the formation of our belief systems, challenging those often outmoded thoughts, and finally assists us in making new, more life-affirming choices. If we do this work, we will be able to separate the inherent nature of who we are, on the inside, from our beliefs and behavior on the outside. With the book, people can investigate their beliefs in a number of critical areas and clear the accumulated clutter around them. These areas include God and spirituality, how we communicate with one another, sex and gender issues, human rights, war and peace, our bodies' health and wellness, the perceived injustices of the institutions in our lives, our stewardship of the environment, family issues and the debris left from growing up in our culture. Unburdened by the past, which colors our choices in the present, readers of Confession is Good for More than the Soul are free to choose new lives, new relationships and new positions in the world, and those willing to follow through will become able to maintain a clutter-free life. The author, Leslie Reynolds-Benns has a PhD in Counseling and a Masters Degree in Applied Theology and is committed to having a world that works for everyone.
