Böcker av Alan D. Harris

Are you surrounded by so much junk and clutter in your life that you can't find the things that matter? What do you need to let go of, and what do you need to keep? The Monk, the Trunk, & the Junk is a parable about how to hold on to the things that matter, how to let go of the things that no longer serve you, and how to tell the difference between the two. Adapting a 1,500-year-old Benedictine practice of creating and living by your own personal rule, this book will provide tools and insights into the transformation that is possible through purposeful "letting go" and intentionally organizing your most meaningful and valued possessions. For the past twenty years Dr. Alan Harris has served as a healthcare chaplain in hospitals, hospice, and long-term care. An Associate of the Order of the Holy Cross (Episcopal), he holds a certificate in spiritual companionship. He has earned master's degrees in counseling and business, and a doctorate in theology. He is also certified as a grief specialist who has conducted hundreds of funerals, memorial services, and celebrations of life. Not once has he ever seen a hearse pulling a U-Haul trailer at a funeral or a graveside service.
