The Soul of Desire by Curt Thompson Book Review
” The Soul of Desire ” is a good book that you can read online or download to read it later. Before starting the reading or downloading, here is the summary of the book that you can read. In The Soul of Desire, psychiatrist Curt Thompson suggests that underneath all our longings is the desire to be known – and what’s more, that this fundamental yearning manifests itself in our deep need to make things of beauty, revealing who we are to others. Desire and beauty go hand in hand. But both our craving to be known and our ability to create beauty have been marred by trauma and shame, collapsing our imagination for what God has for us and blinding us to the possibility that beauty could ever emerge from our ashes. Drawing on his work in interpersonal neurobiology and clinical practice, Thompson presents a powerful picture of the capacity of the believing community to reshape our imaginations, hold our desires and griefs together, and invite us into the beauty of God’s presence.The Soul of Desire is a mature, creative work, weaving together neuroscience and spiritual formation to open up new horizons for thinking not only about the nature of the mind but about what it means to be human.
Brief Summary The Soul of Desire by Curt Thompson
This book is a book of hope. It stirred up a desire in me in a very quiet joyful way to become and to create beauty, goodness, and truth. And when I put this book down, I KNEW and I was CONFIDENT that God would make it a reality. In my life, and in my marriage. And I had a smile on my face. Years ago, I was undone listening to Antonin Dvorak wrote his Symphony No. 9, “From the New World” at a retreat. I had read Dr. Curt’s previous books. But I did not quite understand why he would have us listen to this classical piece of music and why it undid me. I was struggling in my life with shame, fear, and the same of my spouse’s. Dr. Curt offered the two questions that he discusses in this book. One that God asks Adam in Genesis Chapter 3. The other is asked by Jesus in John 1. A friend of mine, seeing me being undone, took me out of the room, and we walked outside. In his book “The Soul of Desire”, Dr. Curt quotes Jeremiah
