Stumbling toward Wholeness: How the Love of God Changes Us

Andrew Bauman has given us an excellent book with Stumbling Toward Wholeness. From the introduction, you can tell that Bauman is set on providing us with a profound view not only of Christianity but of becoming whole. Even though the book is written using a parable from the Bible, Bauman makes sure that he does not force-feed his views to the readers. He provides us with a modern perspective that is adaptable to people from all backgrounds and beliefs. As we journey through the characters of the runaway son, the elder son, and father, it’s clear that Bauman has not only done the research but has had time to reflect on his own journey of growth. The lessons in the book are relevant and combined with his psychological background, readers are given useful tools to be applied to their own lives. This book contains knowledge and wisdom that is sure to be useful to all who read it. The questions Bauman asks are also helpful in keeping up with the pace of the story and provide time for critical reflection. Bauman brings the psychologist into our homes with his latest book.
