ISBN: 9780664222796 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) "When we talk of marriage counseling we think immediately of the extreme cases, of threats to seek divorce, of couples in violent disputes who frequently come to blows," Paul Tournier states. But there are many other couples whose marriages are no less a failure. "They live side by side, without hurting one another, but poles apart, because of no real understanding of one another." According to Tournier, the ability to understand each other is what counts in working out marital happiness together. With wisdom and warmth, Tournier suggests ways to achieve this understanding. "When we talk of marriage counseling we think immediately of the extreme cases, of threats to seek divorce, of couples in violent disputes who freq... |

The Gift of Feeling
ISBN: 9780334020233 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Our Western civilization is masculine and dominated by masculine values: cold objectivity, reason, power, efficiency and competition. This means the suppression of other values in the sphere of irrationality and subjectivity: sentiments, emotions,
personal relationships. It is no coincidence that women have been rejected from public life and culture and relegated all too often to the home. This situation has given rise to the enormous contrast between the great powers of science and technology and the decline in the quality of life. Men are interested in things and mechanisms, women in... Our Western civilization is masculine and dominated by masculine values: cold objectivity, reason, power, efficiency and competition.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Synopsis: In the light both of the Bible and of modern science we are confronted not with an abstract and generalized man, but with men who are concrete and personal.

The Strong and the Weak
ISBN: 9781620328392 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Synopsis: The notion that there are two kinds of human beings, the strong and the weak, is dispelled in this helpful and balanced study of psychic strength and spiritual strength. We are much more alike than we may think, says Paul Tournier, the renowned Swiss psychotherapist and student of the Bible. What is different is the external mask that hides identical inner weaknesses and fears. All of us are afraid of others, of God, of ourselves, of life, and of death. What distinguishes us from one another is the way we react to our common distress. In vivid case histories from his notebook, Dr....

The Meaning of Gifts
ISBN: 9781620323571 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Synopsis: When we give something to someone we enter into a many-sided relationship, for in return we hope for the gift of love. Endorsements: "Paul Tournier's discovery of a 'Medicine of the Person' came from his experience that a more open encounter with others (which challenged his natural shyness) was therapeutic. This discovery changed his subsequent medical approach to his patients. "This book looks beneath the surface of these human encounters. It was a gift to his wife--and is a gift to the reader. You will discover what makes these values of universal relevance." --John Cox,...

To Resist or to Surrender?
ISBN: 9781620323601 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 63 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Synopsis: No one has the right to equate Christianity with weakness or to imagine that the Bible teaches us always to surrender. The biblical message proclaims the sovereign greatness of God which transcends all lesser principles or standards which we might wish to draw from it. Man's great temptation is to want to know by himself what is good and what is evil. He wants to know whether he should withstand or not, but without needing any counsel from God. What is good in the Bible is not this thing or that. It is not a matter of resisting or giving in. It is doing what God wants and when he...
