Literary works
Dreams: A Spiritual Guide to Healing and Wholeness
Dreams: A Spiritual Guide to Healing and Wholeness. Astonishing healing happens when seekers discover a deeper relationship with God through the understanding of the spiritual symbolism of their dreams. Peter Fritsch, an Episcopal priest and international teacher, shares his insights into the mysterious, spiritual language of healing hidden in the dream. This book contains both psychological insight and spiritual truths gleaned from working with people from all walks of life. Fritsch studied with Jungian psychologist and Episcopal priest John A. Sanford for eleven years and shares much of what he learned in these pages from Sanford and his associates Morton Kelsey and Robert Johnson. A must read for the serious seeker of the religious meaning of dreams, regardless of one’s spiritual orientation.
The Spirituality of the Holy Grail: Restoring Feminine Spirit in the Western Soul (The New Open Spaces)
The Spirituality of the Holy Grail utilizes the mythology of the search for the Holy Grail as an outline for talking about the nature of the human soul, how it functions, how it is wounded, how it can heal. Peter L. Fritsch shows the reader how to recognize evil, and deal with its reality, without succumbing to non-Christian duality, or simplistic black and white thinking.
Hungary: Finding a Place to Call Home
This is the story of how and why an American man, in poor health, divorced and starting a new life in his sixties, discovered the joy, beauty and innate wisdom of the Hungarian people to create a new home, learn a new language and find renewed vitality and zest for living. If the reader has ever wondered about living in Europe, this book is a great way to begin using one's imagination to find one's best place to call home.
A Moment of Great Power: Sacramental Prayer and Generational Healing
This book gives fantastic stories, historical background, theological study, and pragmatic instructions regarding how to do private services for healing of generational trauma, cruelty, and abuse which can bring new freedom to the living. Peter has done over two hundred services that have brought emotional, spiritual, and physical healing to multitudes of suffering people. Written primarily for Anglican clergy, this book has helped priests, therapists, and counselors bring hope and freedom from people suffering from generational trauma. This book is for serious persons of prayer and discerning intelligence, and while these healing services are not a replacement for excellent therapy, they do provide a powerful, loving, and authentic means to bring healing to the whole person. Often, there are extended family members who are unaware of the private healing services who experience inner and physical healing within hours, days, or weeks of the service. This is a practice of prayer learned by Peter from the late Dr. Kenneth McAll, a licensed orthopedic medical doctor, a psychiatrist, and exorcist for the Church of England. This book will give the reader hope in healing not only their own trauma, but that of other family members by addressing the generational pain of the ancestors, bringing Christ's forgiveness and healing. This is a mystery as to how and why these services accomplish this, but they do.
