Spiritual Guide for the Unemployed
One of 15,000,000—I was fired from a job once. But there were plenty of other jobs and I got a better one. Timothy Mullner, the author of “A Spiritual Guide for the Unemployed,” lost his position with a Fortune 500 company in June 2009, and times are tough. Mullner has a doctor of ministry degree so he uses stories and reflections in these 126 pages as a guide to help the reader identify feelings and get past the haunting question “Who am I?” He uses tips like his “Top 10 List for Finding Your Way through Unemployment,” and ideas to spark journaling. His philosophy is upbeat yet not obnoxious. Mullner says life-after-unemployment “is created one day at a time, one phone call at a time, and one conversation at a time. That’s how the Holy Spirit works.” Father Ron Rolheiser wrote the foreword. (Catholic New World2011-09-25)
