Guilt and Grace by Paul Tournier

Here the author of the popular book, THE MEANING OF PERSONS, presents another vital work on the human condition. Drawing upon a wealth of experience as a practicing physician and counselor, Dr. Tournier probes behind our daily irritability, overaggressiveness, and indifference. He exposes the hidden source that gives rise to these guilt. With examples from everyday life, Dr. Tournier shows how to handle the inevitable guilt that arises in human relations so that guilt becomes "a friend because it leads to the experience of grace." In a warm and vivid style, strikingly illuminated by Biblical insights, Dr. Tournier shares with the reader his compassionate and practical understanding.
