The Integration Journey

Science & Faith

“William B. Whitney and Carissa Dwiwardani have created a personal journey of reflection for students and psychologists. They believe that reflecting on our personal stories within our own culture of Christian faith, psychological understandings, and culture will lead us to an ever-unfolding wholeness. Teresa of Avila said, 'The feeling remains that God is on the journey too.' After reading The Integration Journey and applying it, you'll see that you've been on a journey with God.”

The Integration of Psychology and Christianity

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Bill Hathaway and Mark Yarhouse have provided a refreshing look at how Christian and psychological thought and practice can be integrated. This will give you a new look at integration. Their twist is to examine how integration might take different forms in worldview, theoretical, applied, role, and personal domains. I really enjoyed the sweep of their thought—from philosophical through professional to the personal as they navigate through and between the domains. It was an intellectual joy ride.”

Treating Trauma in Christian Counseling

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Jesus was no stranger to trauma—from treating a woman who had just escaped stoning and another with an unhealed flow of blood to predicting trauma for the apostles and personally enduring the cross. Neither should we be, especially those of us in the helping professions. The themes of the Christian Scripture—pain, suffering, personal humiliation, resilience, hope, and meaning—are the themes dealt with by these esteemed authors. Heather and Fred Gingrich have assembled an all-star cast of Christian psychologists to inform about the up-to-the-minute science, healing, and faith of traumatology.”

Where the River Bends

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Michael McRay has written an extraordinary book. It tells the grand narrative of how justice, forgiveness from God, seeking and receiving forgiveness from others, and struggling with forgiving the self come together like a turbulent river. The origin of this particular river is in McRay's understanding of forgiveness, and McRay draws most heavily upon the superb theology and psychology of theologian Miroslav Volf, and peacemakers John Paul Lederach and Desmond Tutu. Then, fourteen prisoners' personal stories form 'tributaries' that arise from the turbulent river. Those stories recount crimes, address justice, and describe self-recrimination. It is forgiveness that often bends the flow of narrative into the grand narrative that forgiveness of self and others changes lives. This book could actually change your life.”
