Opis

Mindfulness programs are increasingly being used for issues as wide-ranging as depression, pain, employee engagement, and character development. Many Christians are wondering what to make of all this. Is there a place for mindfulness in the Christian walk?

In this book, experienced psychologists explain what is meant by "being mindful," help readers to view mindfulness more broadly than the context of Buddhism in which it is often framed, and profile the rich Christian tradition of mindful-like practice.

By bringing a Christ-centered approach to mindful awareness, the authors demonstrate how to apply this practice to discipleship and spiritual growth. Readers are equipped to decide the extent to which they wish to learn and practice mindfulness, to approach it without fear, and to draw on the good within it to develop their relationship with Jesus.
