Depleted Self : Sin In A Narcissistic Age

Don Capps challenges the church, its theologians, and its pastors to address seriously-and without moralism – the malaise that afflicts us, the mood of “wrongness” and incompleteness of self, of victimization, hunger, alienation, bitterness, the melancholic form that sin takes so prevailing in our day. This book is an effective example of the postive mirroring, more empathy, or acceptance, that Capps recommends as the means of empowering the depleted self.
