Nourishing the Spirit is a companion volume to their widely influential and highly praised book on the negative emotions: Transforming Our Painful Emotions: A Spiritual Understanding of Anger, Shame, Grief, Fear and Loneliness.

James and Evelyn Whitehead have coauthored a dozen books that are still in print and have been translated into several languages, including Holy Eros: Pathways to a Passionate God and the prequel to this book, Transforming Our Painful Emotions.
