Sacred Journeys

Ecumenical Perspectives on Spiritual Care

By: Michael J. Kurtz PhD

Spiritual needs are as ancient as humankind. Just as ancient is the impulse and the imperative to respond to those in distress. The need for healing is universal. So is the empowerment that love for others, for ourselves, and for God can bring. The great Abrahamic faiths of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have profound lessons rooted in deep spiritual understanding for those who suffer and for those who seek to bring a healing touch. Sacred Journeys: Ecumenical Perspectives on Spiritual Care draws from these faith traditions to provide a hopeful collection of inspirational essays on spiritual caregiving, with essayists who were themselves led by the spirit to offer spiritual care in parishes, in hospitals, at schools, on the streets, and in locales near and far. They show us that with Gods help, rigorous training, and the willingness to learn from our struggles and doubts, it is possible to be a force for healing and good in this world. Regardless of our background or calling, we can be inspired to take a leap of faith in reaching out to others. We are all called to take the risk of listening to the pain and fear of others, to risk the opening of our hearts, and to be ambassadors of Gods love to a hurting world. This path is not easy, but there is a joy and a sense of peace that radiates from the experiences of those who have walked the path before us.

The Journey of a Spiritual Traveler

By: Michael Kurtz PhD

The Journey of a Spiritual Traveler reflects the journey of Pastor Michael Kurtz from a boyhood in rural central Florida as a Roman Catholic youth to the shores of the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland as a Lutheran layman and then pastor. God through the power of His transforming Word changed the trajectory and very purpose of Pastor Kurtzs life. These meditations and sermons explore the manifold and marvelous ways in which Gods grace touches and changes each one of us. We are all spiritual travelers and our journeys are filled with complexity, with struggle, and with joy as well. God, through the angels he sends into our lives, is ever with us. The Journey of a Spiritual Traveler vividly brings to the fore our Lords promise: I am with you, to the end of the age. (Mt. 28:20).

Online Learner Competencies

Knowledge, Skills, and Attitudes for Successful Learning in Online Settings

By: Michael Beaudoin,Gila Kurtz,Insung Jung,Katsuaki Suzuki,Barbara L. Grabowski

The book identifies a set of validated competencies and performance statements, withsupporting explanation and data to inform and equip online learners with the critical attitudes, knowledge and skills for successful learning in online and/or blended learning settings. The work also enables online education providers (e.g., instructors, course designers, program administrators, scholars) to better understand learner needs in order to design and deliver online education products and services best suited to learners. Supplementing a large number of anecdotally-based “how to” books published for those engaged in online education, this volume offers a definitive set of 14 competencies and 75 performance statements (that demonstrate those competencies). Validated by systematic research and input from over 1,000 online users and providers worldwide, this work should impact the quality of learning and teaching at both the individual and organizational levels, involved in online education.
