Read this for church/work. It wasn’t bad, but felt pretty similar to a lot of books I read in college. I’m just not a huge fan of nonfiction! There was one part I liked which involved writing a “Life-giving list” and I think I want to continue doing this. I liked that the list included not only activities that give life, but also places and people. Still finding my places!!

It is wild to me that this book has so many 4 and 5 star reviews. I found the theology, especially as it relates to anxiety, problematic and unnecessary. The three middle chapters, where he focuses on sources of relational anxiety, family systems, and tools for diffusing anxiety, have some good practical insights for leading groups. The one very helpful point he gets across is that you must do your own inner work if you are to be a good leader.

The first chapter is an indictment of the UT Knoxville hospital system's chaplaincy program and it is infuriating to listen to.
The rest of it is a basic good refresher on pastoral care skills (also is literally just systems theory). I recommend skipping the first and last chapter and only read the middle parts, if you're wanting a pastoral care skills refresher
