Bread for the Soul: Stories That Nourish, Comfort, and Heal

By Jim Clarke

Book Overview

Jim Clarke draws on his over forty years of experience in pastoral ministry to explore common questions and struggles faced by most of us in daily life: relationships, meaning, work, faith issues, prayer, money, aging, understanding God's ways, bringing faith to life and life to faith, etc. Each chapter begins with a question culled from his studies and professional training, as well as from parishioners and students. As always, Fr. Jim brings the abstract down to earth as he writes in a conversational, easily readable format, using stories, analogies, and jokes to help the reader to engage with the topics.

Rev. Jim Clarke, PhD, has an extensive background in teaching, spiritual direction, counseling, formation work, depth psychology, parish ministry, and retreat leadership. Recently retired from active ministry, he has been coordinator for spiritual and human formation for the permanent diaconate program for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and senior lecturer at Loyola Marymount University and Mount Saint Mary's University in Los Angeles.
