USED BOOK EVENT UPDATE:  "Everything Old is New Again!"

The library's used book event enters its second and final week, we've moved over 1,600 books out but there are still hundreds of books left and we need to get as many of them out of the library as we can before the end of this event.  

  

 

To encourage you to return and take another look we've completely switched  out last week's books for a completely new selection!  That's right, everything is BRAND SPANKING NEW -- in an old, used book sense that is -- and just waiting for you to come by and make your selections (don't worry, the old stuff is in boxes beneath the tables and you're welcome to look through them). 

 

Everything is still one, thin dime so get on back to the library and have another look-see, you know you want to ....

In this course we will focus on Narrative Counseling theory and the resources it offers to pastoral caregivers. This Narrative Counseling approach, highly influenced by various liberation theories, reflects an attentiveness to both culture and person. It is deeply respectful, relies on a consultative rather than an expert model, and is elegant in both its simplicity and thoroughness. Narrative theory's efficient and effective qualities as well as the de-centering of the counselor in the counseling process make this approach particularly well-suited to both parish pastors and to pastoral care specialists. This one-day course is open to the public.
Instructor: Christie Neuger, Founder and Director of The Institute

Fee: $65.00, $35.00 for students in a degree program at United
