Epilogue: To have, to hold, and to hand over
'...The book opens with an emphasis on self-knowledge as the cornerstone of spiritual and psychological growth. Chapters 3 through 6 deal with some of the major impediments to growth in holiness and wholeness: the shadow self, co-dependency, perfectionism, envy and overwork.The central theme throughout is that as consciousness of ourselves and others expands, so will our development as persons made to love and be loved. The final chapters demonstrate how intimate relationships, compassion and collaboration contribute to wholeness and self-transcendence.'
