In this book, authors Janet O. Hagberg and Robert A. Guelich address the following issues:
the struggle to find meaning and wholeness
the crisis of values and identity at mid-life
the quest for self-actualization
the healing of early religious experiences
questions about the spiritual journey
Their goal is to help us understand where we are on our individual faith journeys and also appreciate where others are in theirs.
The Critical Journey does not reveal exactly how or when we need to move along in our personal pilgrimages, nor does it offer formulas for spiritual growth. Rather, it describes six phases of the spiritual journey and illustrates how people act and think while in these stages.
This is an excellent guide for those who are wrestling with their faith and wondering how others have resolved their "dark nights of the soul." Here is an answer for those who have wondered why everyone doesn't respond in the same manner to the message of the Gospel.
