Volume 1 Number 30

The Editor's Desk:

August 1 - August 7, 2010

Our mission is to present spiritual responses to some of the greatest challenges that life has to offer: events like death of a loved one, breakup of a relationship, serious accident or illness, crises of identity, recovery from addiction, loss of job or career, retirement, and other life-altering events.
It's Sad to Say, "Goodbye!"
That's right: after only 24 issues, it's time to say, "Farewell" to the Spirit in Crisis Journal. Hope springs eternal, but, in this very preoccupied world, our hopes are very often disappointed. That's the way of life: but each ending brings with it lessons learned and hopes for new beginnings. Please read the letter at the bottom of today's edition for more information. In the meantime, "Thanks!" to both our dedicated contributors and our equally-dedicated readers. It was you who made this e-Zine possible!

At the same time, the Spirit in Crisis Journal won't be going away completely. Our inspired articles will remain here for you to read and re-read at your leisure. Also, I'll be cross-posting my regular articles from the Midlife Mastery Journal here, as well. So, keep coming back to visit: You're always welcome!

To One Person, Including Someone Ill with Prostate Cancer, You May Become the World

It’s been said that, “To the world you may only be one person, but to one person, you may be the world.” Most of us doubt we’ll even be noticed by a sizable portion of the 6 ½ billion who inhabit this planet. We wonder whether we’ll amount to much, compared to some of the [Continue]

Prayer for Prostate Cancer Survivors and Others Afflicted by Cancer

Last April I was asked to "kick-off" the annual "Relay for Life" near my home in Sarasota, Florida, by offering a survivor’s invocation. It’s one of thousands of cancer relays held every year around the country. In keeping with the goal of alleviating the spirit in crisis, I’d like to share my invocation with you here. [Continue]

Healing from Within

Healing from Within

When it comes to prostate cancer or other illnesses, conventional and experimental Western medicine can help us heal. But traditional medicine combined with spirituality has an even greater impact. [Continue]
