Growing Toward God: Understanding Why

Dr. Bernie Siegel uses his trademark humor and examples from his patients to stimulate belief in God and to examine our beliefs about ourselves. He looks at the ways our spiritual lives have an impact on health, and encourages the audience to “follow your heart, not your head."

In an address to a live audience, Dr. Bernie Siegel uses his trademark humor and examples from his patients to stimulate belief in God and to examine our beliefs about ourselves. “Life is a labor pain,” he says, that allows us to give birth to ourselves. He looks at the ways our spiritual lives have an impact on health, and encourages the audience to “follow your heart, not your head."

This series incorporates a DVD, Leader's Guide, which allows each segment’s teachings to be taught to a group or utilized for independent study. The resource guide presents a format for a nine session course and gives the course leader specific points of discussion, debate and activities for participants. An alternative model for conducting the course as a weekend retreat, with examples of daily schedules and activities is also included.

This resource is inspired by, and wrapped around, a keynote address Dr. Siegel gave at the Spiritual Formation Summit at Kanuga.

The DVD ships directly from the vendor. The Leader's Guice is available as a downloadable PDF.
