"I came so
that they may have life, and have it more abundantly" (John 10:10).
Jesus wants
to bring abundant life and wholeness into every portion of our whole being,
not just our physical bodies, but also our emotions, our minds, our hearts,
our spirits.
Profound changes are taking place in the human sciences inclusive of human, psychosocial and cultural approaches, as well as the healing arts.
