Living Biblically

Christian Living

“In this informative and easy-to-read book, Kalman Kaplan juxtaposes stories of the ancient Greeks and the biblical Hebrews, highlighting the striking contrasts between the worldviews of these two cultures. Kaplan encourages readers to consider the conceptual and practical implications of psychology's heavy reliance on Greek mythology, which is often pessimistic and fatalistic, in contrast to a more hopeful biblical perspective. He brings these connections to light with superb storytelling skill and clinical acumen.”

Positive Psychology in Christian Perspective

Science & Faith

“I found Charles Hackney's book to be a beautiful overview and critique of positive psychology—both the movement and its many topics—viewed through a Christian lens. I very much appreciated the thoughtful integration of a huge body of psychological literature within a faith-based context. The book provides a great deal of food for thought, all packaged within bite-sized, well-organized, highly readable chapters. I would highly recommend this book as a resource for scholars and clinicians, and I would see it as an excellent choice for a Christian-focused undergraduate or graduate course on positive psychology.”
