For years genealogists, genetic counselors, & family therapists have used genograms--family tree diagrams--as a important tool in their work. Now Barbara Wendland & Larry Easterling show you how to use genograms in your congregation to promote spiritual growth, build community, & enhance communication. Based in both their own small group experiences & in years of workshop leadership, the authors demonstrate a broad understanding of how knowing & sharing our spiritual roots can contribute to a more dynamic congregational life. Employing a lively variety of personal stories, they provide clues & immediately useful tools to uncover your faith heritage, & gift churches with a powerful instrument for building more intimate communities.
