Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“How can a church respond to the mental health crisis? This practical book could help solve the crisis in your community! The authors guide church leaders using their unique insights into the process of mental health care within a congregation. The concepts are both theologically thick and psychologically informed. This book is innovative, clear, and full of pathways to new ideas for congregational mental health care.”
Christian Meditation in Clinical Practice
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“Not only does Christian Meditation in Clinical Practice ground the reader in excellent scriptural and psychological principles, providing well-researched treatment guidelines and practical exercises for mindful practice, but the reader also gains a level of understanding of Christian meditation that can't be found anywhere else. Knabb's book is comprehensive, thoroughly researched, and clearly written as a resource to therapists, spiritual directors, and anyone interested in growing in mindfulness as a Christian.”
Coming to Peace with Psychology
Science & Faith
“This is psychology for the intelligent Christian! Worthington turns integration into a dance with full participation from the science of psychology and genuine faith. Culturally relevant and full of the most cutting-edge psychological research, Worthington is true to both his faith and science. To those that struggle with reconciling theology and psychology, this book is a faithful guide with genuine respect for both disciplines. Communicated with a readable style a beginning student could appreciate. All previous books on integration will need to be rewritten to respond to Worthington's ideas.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“I expected a great book from Neff and McMinn, but I didn't expect to be so moved, and challenged, and changed. This book wrestles with the ultimate questions of living, not just for my patients or students but for me. The authors share personal stories and experiences that literally put flesh on a totally new way of integrating faith and psychology. God is doing something new here.”
Engaging in Counseling Research with Curiosity and Wisdom
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“This book is a gift to students who feel intimidated by research. With warmth, theological depth, and psychological insight, Kristen Kansiewicz and Paul Loosemore reframe research as an act of curiosity rooted in faith. Rather than a technical hurdle, research becomes a spiritual journey—one that honors the image of God in each of us and invites us to play in the sandbox of discovery. Students are encouraged to engage their spiritual, emotional, and intellectual selves in the service of loving God and neighbor. This text offers companionship for students learning to do research as worship.”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“Parents will find Faith Foundations both accessible and extremely practical, filled with thoughtful questions, meaningful discussions, and Scripture-centered lessons that make faith come alive for children from preschool to middle school. Whether you are new to family devotions or looking to deepen your existing practices, this book is an invaluable resource for fostering a Christ-centered home. I highly recommend it to any family eager to pass on the faith with joy and confidence!”
Marriage, Family & Relationships
“Dr. Holeman has done an incredible job of using the best research on forgiveness and reconciliation in marriages and made it accessible for anyone to understand. This book is full of practical ideas on reconciling after minor or major hurts in a marriage. It is something desperately needed by any couple who has experienced hurts in their relationship. When couples face the desire to reconcile but are struggling to achieve it, this book will walk them through with examples and ideas they might never have thought of. The stories and exemplar couples bring the ideas to life. Dr. Holeman's background as a theologian, scholar and clinician makes her uniquely qualified to tackle the difficult issue of marital reconciliation from a Christian perspective. Readers will be inspired and equipped to face the areas of their marriage where they need reconciliation.”
Science & Faith
“In a world that often compartmentalizes knowledge, The Integration Journey stands as a beacon of integration, demonstrating that a deeper understanding of Christianity can be attained by embracing the richness of our diverse human experience. Whitney and Dwiwardani have given us a gift—a guide that encourages us to explore the relational harmony between psychology, faith, and culture. This book is destined to become a cornerstone for those in mental health who have faith and seek understanding.”
Theology for Better Counseling
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“If you're training to be a counselor, therapist, or pastoral caregiver, or if you're a professor for these students, this book will stretch and strengthen you. Virginia Todd Holeman invites students to move beyond simple 'Bible plus technique' models into thoughtful, lived integration. With clear writing and concrete examples, this second edition of Theology for Better Counseling shows how theology actually shapes who you become as a helper. It's an ideal guide for students who want their faith and clinical skills to mature together.”
Marriage, Family & Relationships
“I have often wished that I could clone this team for thousands of parents. They arrive in therapy or Christian ministry disoriented and distressed about their children coming out. This book is a grounded, fact-based resource that is also full of personal stories, bringing hope to these families in a personal and relatable way. Some of the research may be difficult to hear, but it offers a realistic view of the path ahead. Yarhouse and Zaporozhets have shared their valuable experience for families who have landed in the middle of a culture war. It is a guide to loving their children well in this circumstance.”
Worship and Awe in Christian Psychology
World Religions
“In Worship and Awe in Christian Psychology, Joshua Knabb offers a deeply needed vision for Christian psychologists—a vision that calls us back to the heart of our work: reverence for God. This is not just another integration text; it’s a soulful, intellectually rich invitation to consider how awe and worship shape us as followers of Christ. With theological depth, clinical insight, and spiritual humility, Knabb helps us reflect on the sacred work of therapy. I found myself pausing, worshiping, and realigning. This book will form you as much as it informs you. A beautiful, essential contribution.”
