Confluence: Integrated Wisdom of Jesus, Buddha & Psychology An Introduction

What do Jesus, the Buddha, and a therapist's couch have in com- mon? More than you might think.

Doug Henning was raised in Christian fundamentalism. He came of age during Vietnam and encountered Buddhism in Southeast Asia- and let it change him. He spent his professional life as a professor of psychology and practicing therapist, and over decades found his way to a broader, more generous Christianity.

Confluence is his account of navigating all three-not as competing forces pulling him apart, but as rivers joining into something deeper. Drawing wisdom from Christianity, Buddhism, and Psychology, Henning shows how each tradition illuminates the others, and how a life authentically lived across multiple sources of truth is not a con- tradiction but a calling.

Wise, personal, and intellectually serious, Confluence is the rare book that doesn't just describe integration-it demonstrates it.
