Best of its genre

This slim volume is THE most accessible book on theological reflection that I have read. While I loved his earlier book, Let Ministry Teach, my students found it rather dense and confusing. This book, based on the same process-theology approach, is much more accessible to students and layfolks. It is very clear in articulating the process by which one connects life with faith. Would be an excellent resource for pre-ministerial students or thoughtful laypersons.I've read Whiteheads, Patton, deBeer and Killen and many others on this topic and Robert Kinast most clearly and understandably gets at a kind of reflection that is, at root, faith-based and theological.
