The renewal of the inner man

"A healthy Christian faith builds and completes our personality from a psychological point of view," says psychologist Márta Kálmánchey. A deep relationship with God, unconditional acceptance, provides a solid foundation for our existence. Conversion, rebirth, sets in motion a new path. Our faith helps us deal with fateful, difficult difficulties as well as everyday stressful life situations. The thirty short writings in this volume show how faith lived individually and in community can become a renewing force in our lives. We can read about, among other things, the psychological significance of baptism, confirmation, and the sacrament, the image of God, the midlife crisis, emotional disability, and creativity. We believe and confess that "... even if our outer man is corrupted, our inner man is renewed day by day" (2 Cor 4:16).
