FILM: 'The Soloist' connects with humanity on L.A. streets

>By Donovan Jacobs

[Episcopal News Service] We live in troubled times - times where too
many people both withdraw into themselves and ignore (even more than
usual) the plight of those less fortunate. While it may fall short on
some levels, the new film The Soloist deserves praise for confronting
us with the danger of living in this way and emphasizing our need to
connect, especially with individuals whose humanity can be hard to
embrace.

"What Are You Going to Do with Your Life? Unpublished Writings and
Diaries" from Church Publishing, Inc., by Edwin H. Friedman, 185
pages, paperback, c. 2009, $28

[Church Publishing, Inc.] Whether he is interviewing God ("I must be
the first since Moses to be allowed into your presence"), preaching on
"marriage as music," or reflecting on a visit to his parents' grave,
Friedman always has the power to surprise us and invite us to change.
This new collection of Edwin Friedman's writings, most of them
unpublished, reveal a different side of this rabbi, teacher, and
leadership coach who caused a revolution in viewing human
relationships with Generation to Generation.

Organized into life stages, specifically the journey from young
adulthood to maturity and death, What Are You Going to Do with Your
Life? captures Friedman's signature wit and playfulness as he cuts
straight to the heart of human growth and relationships.

Throughout his life, Friedman eloquently applied the insights of
family therapy to churches and synagogues, organizations and
businesses -- and, of course, to families themselves. He energized and
delighted a wide public in his lifetime and continues to engage us
with What Are You Going to Do with Your Life?, an essential reader for
those seeking life-changing insights.
