Journey to Lessen the Gap: Between Scripture and Psychology - Paperback

by Sharon Priest (Author), Kathryn Colegrave (Author)

Orphans, Wanderers, Warriors, Altruists, and Magicians, oh my! This is not a book for the faint hearted! This book draws from three basic ideologies and shows how they intersect and compliment each other without forcing them into a box with rigid parameters. The narrative draws a clear thread from Susan Anderson's Theory of Abandonment to the basic six archetypes, defined by Carol Pearson, to the stories of the lives of central characters in the Bible. Not by forcing connections but by logically following the interconnections of all three. The Theory of Abandonment takes us though the SWIRL of intense feelings and psychological trauma leading us to the emergence of the various personalities of archetypes and subsequently to the experience of Biblical characters in interesting situations across both culture and time. The personal experiences of both writers have been incorporated into the story for a real-life connection from two very different life perspectives.
