Greenstreet (Canterbury Christ Univ., UK) shares the results of her phenomenological study on spiritual care and coping with loss, especially in relation to advanced chronic or terminal illness. The study objectives were to discover "nurses' perceptions of spirituality," how "nurses facilitate spirituality as a source of coping," and how they "use their personal resources in caring for those with chronic and terminal conditions." Discussion highlights are the use of the phenomenology method for addressing spirituality; a particularly enlightening historical review about spirituality within the profession of nursing, beginning with religious nursing orders up to the present day; and an engaging, comprehensive literature review of the many facets of spirituality. The heart of Greenstreet's book addresses the study's findings: nurses' individual spiritual development influences their own ability with spiritual care. Nurses not only provide spiritual care, but also need it to keep themselves restored and spiritually whole. This book is recommended for nursing educators, practitioners, and students. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates and above; faculty and professionals. --Linda K. Strodtman, University of Michigan
