In it we attempt to re-envision, to see anew, the patterns of power, confidence, and loss that shape maturity.

Our goal is to befriend these images, to rescue them... more » from narrow interpretations that have weakened each, to recover their power to illumine our adult journey with God."Seasons of Strength is a probing, thoughtful, and inspiring exploration of what it means to become an adult Christian. In it, the Whiteheads have distilled a clear and positive vision of human development in relation to faith, spirituality, and ministry. Invaluable as a text in adult education, this book is a steady resource for classroom use and personal reflection."
