Margaret Zipse Kornfeld is a pastoral psychotherapist, an American Baptist pastor, a longtime faculty member of the Blanton-Peale Graduate Institute and of Union Theological Seminary; and president-elect of the American Association of Pastoral Counselors.
"A tour de force.... Kornfeld's treatment of listening, women's
needs, clergy confidentiality, unemployment, fee-taking, and the
health and spirituality of the 'counselor in community' is
brilliant."--Christian Century
"A state-of-the-art guide for all who minister today!"--Catholic
Library World
"A wise, humane, and practical book about healing in religious
communities."--Values and Visions
"Kornfeld has put a well-honed tool into the hands of seminarians,
deacons, and any minister hoping to develop the gifts of lay
leaders. This book is no garden plot but acres of
information."--Pastoral Life
"A book you will pull off the shelf many times for additional
reference.... With many self-help books full of 'new age'
methodologies on the market, this book provides a sound
antidote."--The Princeton Seminary Bulletin
"Margaret Kornfeld's excellent, encyclopedic book, Cultivating
Wholeness, addresses the very real need for expert, accessible, and
wise guidance. Kornfeld...provides both a broad and thorough
discussion of key issues that leaders of faith communities and lay
caregivers regularly face. Not only does she analyze pragmatic
matters—such as clergy confidentiality, unemployment, and
fee-taking—but she also sensitively attends to the spiritual
well-being of the "counselor in community." A wide range of
readers, lay and ordained, will welcome Kornfeld's clear and
thoughtful presentation. In a pastor's study filled with care and
counseling books, this is the best guide of its kind I know. Keep
it handy on your shelf. —Congregations, Fall 2005
