Four Quarters: A Cultural and Developmental Approach to Transforming Your Spiritual AutobiographyBy: Taunya Marie Tinsley, D.Min, Ph.D. "This book will remind you why God built you to be in the game, while giving you fundamental principles that are necessary for you to stay motivated to win."Bishop Sir Walter Mack, Jr, Union Baptist Church, Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Four Quarters implements sports metaphors, specifically basketball, that will assist readers with developing their spiritual story/spiritual autobiography. Scriptures and psychological concepts are included to help you make sense and understand your spiritual story. Author Taunya Marie Tinsley's experience of developing her own spiritual autobiography assisted her with understanding who she is; making sense of her journey; and finishing unfinished business from her past while improving her understanding of God and her faith in the process. She hopes readers can model her vulnerability and experiences to assist them with their own personal process.
