Book excerpt: In my decades of ministry, I have watched ministry leaders struggle to develop healthy and functional relationships within their families, churches, and organizations. This excellent work provides theoretical and practical insight for encouraging and guiding leaders for building the most fundamental dimension of ministryspiritually and emotionally mature leaders. Rev. Eugene Weaver President Gospel Crusade Ministerial Fellowship Spiritual Adoption is a fascinating study of the interrelationships among and between the psychological, spiritual, and neurological dimensions of behavior. Using the metaphor and example of attachments, rooted in biblical examples, the Doctors Ascano weave a useful framework for working with people in the midst of their lives, not just within a clinical framework. I would recommend this book for clinicians, pastors, and ministry administrators who want to understand what they and their staff and clients bring to the arena, and how to address these issues from a biblical context.
