As a pastor, educator, leader, and activist, life can get pretty overwhelming. As it turns out, the only way we can affect a system in a healthy way is to become more healthy ourselves.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat road did I take to get from \"stressed to the max\" to becoming a non-anxious presence? I read. A lot! I read authors specific to BFST: Roberta Gilbert, Israel Galindo, Peter Steinke, Murray Bowen, and Michael Kerr. Some books that I would recommend include \u003ci\u003eFriedman's Fables\u003c\/i\u003e (written by Ed Friedman) and an outstanding primer on BFST by R. Robert Creech, \u003ci\u003eFamily Systems and Congregational Life: A Map for Ministry\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book is a collection of sermons, funeral services, and observations from my point of view as an ordained pastor. Not everything in this book will reflect the views of the congregations I've served or the ELCA. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt is a great privilege to walk alongside people as they make their way from this life to the next, and, to assist those who are left behind - to help them pray their goodbyes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jules Erickson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798218524678\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cracked Pot Studio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/25\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.39d","brand":"Jules Erickson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47474391351551,"sku":"9798218524678","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_625774e0-6ac1-4f09-9a84-32d2fd0e5609.jpg?v=1762316435","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/practical-grief-jules-erickson-9798218524678","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
