From Library Journal:

This book is an excellent analysis of the role of imagination in the spiritual life. It differs from much traditional Christian spirituality in considering personal images important in prayer, both as a place of contact with God and as a revelation of one's own motivations. Much of the book explicitly concerns uses of the imagination in ministry and the need for clergy to study their unconscious, but the book reads easily with at times almost poetic expression that makes it widely applicable. Written from a Jungian but not doctrinaire perspective, it presupposes no previous contact with Jungian thought. Highly recommended for most libraries.
