Integrating one's spirituality, knowledge, and practice is often a lifetime project. Yet many of us--if we accomplish it at all--do so in a haphazard manner. One might say that the process of sanctification aims toward a similar goal of wholeness. Giving people theological tools and ways to facilitate such integration is a worthy goal. Helping pastors, who often take the lead in facilitating other people's journeys, makes even more sense. For Charles Scalise integration is the goal: wisdom is the means; and authentic Christian practice of ministry is the result. He acknowledges various models exist to accomplish the task of integration, but each has necessary limits.
Theological models of integration currently in use today are the correlational, contextual, narrative, performance, and regulative models. In order to guide the pilgrim toward authentic Christian practices of ministry, Scalise argues for "wise eclecticism." The book enables the reader to explore possibilities for his/her own tailor-made approaches to ministry, balancing the strengths and weaknesses of various models rather than relying solely upon one type or no type. By using a tailor-made approach, the minister is more effective in addressing the ever-changing needs of his or her world.
The author's academic contribution lies in the fact that he takes the seminal work of practical theologians Don Browning and Donald Capps as well as pastoral theologian Charles Gerkin one step further. Scalise constructs an "overview of theological models specifically aimed toward the question of the relationship between the seminary classroom and ministry or toward the connections between constructive and pastoral theology." (Bonnie Miller-McLemore in Reader report).

Derecho al desistimiento
Si es un consumidor, puede rescindir el contrato de acuerdo con lo siguiente. Por consumidor se entiende cualquier persona física que actúe con fines ajenos a su actividad comercial, empresarial, oficio o profesión.
Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
Deberá devolver los bienes o entregarlos a ThriftBooks-Atlanta, Dallas, Texas, U.S.A., sin demoras indebidas y, en cualquier caso, en un plazo máximo de 14 días a partir del día en que nos comunique su desistimiento del presente contrato. El plazo se cumple si devuelve la mercancía antes de que venza el periodo de 14 días. Tendrá que asumir los gastos directos de devolución de los bienes. Usted solo es responsable de la disminución del valor de los bienes como resultado de una manipulación distinta a la necesaria para establecer la naturaleza, las características y el funcionamiento de los bienes.

El derecho de desistimiento no se aplica a lo siguiente:
- La entrega de periódicos, diarios o revistas, con la excepción de los contratos de suscripción; y
- El suministro de contenido digital que no se proporcione en un soporte tangible (por ejemplo, en un CD o DVD) si, al hacer el pedido, aceptó que podíamos empezar a entregarlo y que no podría desistir una vez iniciada la entrega.
