"Recalling Our Own Stories, which author Edward P. Wimberly describes as a 'spiritual retreat in book form,' is designed to help clergy and religious caregivers face the challenges of ministry. It is also a valuable resource for practitioners who assist these clergy and caregivers in meeting the challenges of their work. Wimberly offers a way to renew one's motivation for ministry by reconnecting to one's original call, tapping the sources of renewal that reside in the faith community." -- page 4 of cover.
