Speakeasy Review: Adventures in Soul Making by Troy Caldwell, MD

Image
This book drew me in immediately on three levels. One, it addresses the connection between Spirituality and Psychology. Two, it uses Scripture and Science to explore the concept that we are made of three parts - Body, Soul and Spirit and the importance of understanding how they are interconnected. And three, the picture on the cover includes the image of a spiral figure containing roman numerals that is quite reminiscent of the opening sequence of "Dr. Who" - one of the best television shows ever created! I like the structure of the book with a combination of personal testimonies from various people sharing their spiritual journeys. Caldwell does a good job of explaining what a spiritual director does and how he has been assisted in his life through this kind of direction as well as how he has been able to become a spiritual director himself. His discussion of these practices are very reminiscent of my own experiences in the Sozo emotional healing and deliverance ministry
