Book of the Year

becoming_your_best

 

Healthy Congregations is pleased to announce our 2012 Book of the Year: Becoming Your Best: A Self-help Guide for Thinking People by Ronald Richardson.

The book of the year is included as part of every new and renewal Membership Network subscription.

About Becoming Your Best

Ronald W. Richardson’s Becoming Your Best: A Self-help Guide for Thinking People is Healthy Congregation’s 2011-2012 Book of the Year and is included as a gift for each person joining as a member of the Membership Network.

Becoming Your Best is a book about emotional maturity. In it, Richardson uses the work of Jane Austen to illustrate and explore how maturity and character develop within individuals and communities.

Ronald W. Richardson is a key figure in the family systems movement. Beginning with the publication of Family Ties that Bind in 1984, Richardson has proven himself as a thoughtful, challenging interpreter of systems and emotional process.

A review of Richardson’s 2010 publication Couples in Conflict: A Family Systems Approach to Marriage Counseling is included in the most recent edition of the Main Street Forum, available on-line for Membership Network subscribers. With a membership cost of $50/year, benefits include access to the Journal, the Book of the Year, and on-going continuing education opportunities.
