Psychology, Theology, and Spirituality in Christian Counseling

24,99 $

The American Association of Christian Counselors and Tyndale House Publishers are committed to ministering to the spiritual needs of people. This book is part of the professional series that offers counselors the latest techniques, theory, and general information that is vital to their work. While many books have tried to integrate theology and psychology, this book takes another step and explores the importance of the spiritual disciplines in psychotherapy, helping counselors to integrate the biblical principles of forgiveness, redemption, restitution, prayer, and worship into their counseling techniques. Since its first publication in 1996, this book has quickly become a contemporary classic--a go-to handbook for integrating what we know is true from the disciplines of theology and psychology and how that impacts your daily walk with God. This book will help you integrate spiritual disciplines--such as prayer, Scripture reading, confession--into your own life and into counseling others.

Life Recovery Topical Workbook: The Life Recovery Workbook for Sexual Integrity

9,99 $

Begin the journey of recovery from sexual addiction!
Let’s start now on a twelve-step path that will lead us out of inappropriate sexual behaviors into the restoration of life. In the Life Recovery Workbook for Sexual Integrity, discover real-life stories of fellow travelers, great questions for individual or group discussion, and a Bible-centered approach to freedom. Twelve beautiful blessings await after our hard work on the journey of recovery from sexual addiction.

Step 1: Open our hearts to God’s power to free us from the grip of unhealthy sexual behaviors. "O God, please strengthen me just one more time." (Judges 16:28)
Step 2: Allow God to restore our sexual sanity. "Who can bring purity out of an impure person?" (Job 14:4)
Step 3: Submit to God in order to be freed from the bondage of life-stealing addiction. "If you give up your life for me, you will find it." (Matthew 10:39)
Step 4: Self-examination leads us out of addiction. "You showed that you have done everything necessary to make things right." (2 Corinthians 7:11)
Step 5: Experience the healing that begins with mutual confession. "Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed." (James 5:16)
Step 6: Get ready for God to heal us from addictive sexual behaviors. "You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God." (Psalm 51:17)
Step 7: Invite God to remove our sexual shortcomings. "I restore the crushed spirit of the humble and revive the courage of those with repentant hearts." (Isaiah 57:15)
Step 8: Create a list of people our unwise sexual behavior adversely affected. "Now, however, it is time to forgive." (2 Corinthians 2:7)
Step 9: Restore relationships damaged by our sexual sins and experience a clean slate. "But then they turn from their sins and do what is just and right." (Ezekiel 33:14)
Step 10: Review daily the defects in us that hinder healthy life with God and others. "So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives." (James 1:21)
Step 11: Grow closer to God through prayer and meditation. "Teach me how to live, O Lord." (Psalm 27:11)
Step 12: Bless others with the blessing of healing from habitual sexual sin. "He will give a crown of beauty for ashes." (Isaiah 61:3)

As a physician, I’m an expert on the bodies I encounter in the exam room. But I’m often struck by how ill-equipped I am to remedy life’s complex wounds, such as the distressing emotional ones in many of my patients.

Just like the human body, the corporate bodies I inhabit-my church, my family, and my workplace-are sometimes injured. Often those wounds appear too complicated to heal. So how should I respond in times of stress, crisis, and deep hurt? When should I let go of a conflict and when should I push for a better resolution? Am I hurting or helping?

The healing properties of our physical bodies are integrated into every system, responsive down to the most basic microcellular level. Our injuries don’t have to have the last word. Repair, restoration, and even regeneration are built into our very cells.

What if our corporate bodies were oriented to healing the same way our physical bodies are? What if healing were possible?
