Jewelers of Men: the Art of Spiritual Healing W. Preston Green

The greatest gifts we have to offer come from within. Spiritual healing, or the ability to nurture and repair the emotional damage incurred by the heart and soul of others, is a gift that may not be naturally present in everyone. Like many gifts, however, it is one that can be learned. Untrained through any type of certification or degreed program, author W. Preston Green has spent many years working with young men making the difficult transition to adulthood. His education was a seat-of-the-pants learning experience, one built by a desire to help others and, somehow, an innate ability to say the right thing at the right time and to do just what was needed to provide solace. And through the years, all of his experiences resulted in a profound, actionable set of tools anyone can put to good use. Emphasizing the importance of building a relationship of trust, accepting the person as an individual and for who they really are, understanding differing perspectives on change and overcoming its resistance, and providing peace and forgiveness for injuries inflicted, Green uses stories to illustrate key concepts as he also outlines ways to guide those healing through change and how to seek and receive the help of the Lord in their healing efforts. Perfect for therapists, counselors, parents?anyone actively involved in lifting others to a higher plane, this uplifting handbook demonstrates how everyone has within them the potential to be a jewel of great worth.
