Paul Tournier, who now lives actively in retirement, was a general practitioner in Geneva for nearly fifty years. Although he never had a specialist training in psychiatry and disclaims the title of psychiatrist, his own experiences, and his discovery that many of his patients needed help going deeper than drugs or surgery, led him to develop and practise what he calls 'the medicine of the person', in which medical knowledge, understanding and religion are combined. His books include A Doctor's Casebook in the Light of the Bible, Escape from Loneliness, Learning to Grow Old, Marriage Difficulties, The Meaning of Persons, The Person Reborn, A Place for You, The Strong and the Weak and What's in a Name? A Tournier Companion is being published in 1976. Of The Adventure of Living the Church Times wrote: 'This author's own immense zest for living infects his writing, while his religious sincerity makes very moving his appeal for a closer walk with God as the only thing which can finally unlock the door to happiness. This is a book to be warmly commended to the thoughtful reader and one which, incidentally, should do much to encourage those who are often depressed by the apparent incompatibility between Christian faith and modern science.'… (lisätietoja)

Translated from its original French, this book was written in 1965 by a Swiss doctor, but is still surprisingly relevant today. He starts with the thesis that humans are made for 'adventure', but in the course of the book goes on to explain that this doesn't just mean high-risk thrills, but includes creativity, thoughtful changes, and - most of all - listening to and working with God. He cites many anecdotes from his own life and those of some of his patients, whom he attempted to treat holistically, becoming involved in their lives and feelings as well as their physical ailments.

Inevitably a book of this kind reflects the culture of its time and the author's own biases; I found him rather demeaning to women in places, implying that a female adventure would include a new outfit. - or, at most, marriage and children. However there was so much else that was thought-provoking and inspirational that I was able to gloss over such passages, and remind myself that society has moved on significantly.

It was quite heavy-going in places; not a book to be read in a couple of sittings. It took me about three weeks, reading a chapter per day, and gave me a lot to think about.

God guides us when we are on the way, not when we are standing still, just as one cannot steer a car unless it is moving.
For the fulfilment of his purpose God needs more than priests, bishops, pastors and missionaries. He needs mechanics and chemists, gardeners and street cleaners, dressmakers and cooks, tradesmen, physicians, philosophers, judges and shorthand typists.
As soon as we realise that God takes an interest in all we do, we can bring it all to him. About our religious problems, of course, we can talk with him as with a God; about moral questions, as with the One who alone knows where good and evil lie; but about scientific problems, as with a colleague, about family problems as with a father, about technical matters as with an expert, about philosophy as with a professor, about law as with a jurist, about painting as with an artist, about city planning as with an architect, about finance as with an economist.
Commit your way to the Lord and your plans will be established (Proverbs 16:3)
