A Counselor's Guide to Christian Mindfulness

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“A rich and timely contribution to the growing body of Christian literature exploring mindfulness and contemplation. At times, evangelicals can feel alone in the mental health field. From time to time, you discover a wise and mature guide who knows the landscape and can provide helpful insights and instruction. Trammel and Trent are such guides, skilled clinicians with depth in understanding both the contemplative and mindfulness literature. A Counselor’s Guide to Christian Mindfulness is immensely readable with great examples and practical exercises and demonstrations. References are provided to accommodate scholars and students, but it does not read like a technical manual or heady philosophy text. I highly recommend this book for both the classroom and for practicing clinicians.”

Mending the Soul, Second Edition

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Steven and Celestia Tracy have done a remarkable job updating, refining, and elaborating on their seminal work. This new edition is well-organized and clearly written, covering difficult material with grace, thoughtfulness, and careful exegesis without being either academically dry and heady or simplistic and naive, ensuring that Mending the Soul remains on the bookshelves of another generation of graduate students, pastors, and laypeople. This is essential reading for every abuse survivor, therapist, and ministry leader.”

Walking Straight When Life Goes Sideways

Christian Living

“The character and purposes of God will inevitably come into question when suffering is encountered. With the mind of a theologian and the heart of a pastor, Chris weds together Scripture and life experience to help readers walk through tough times. Walking Straight When Life Goes Sideways should be considered a primary resource for anyone who finds themselves struggling to reconcile hardships with their faith.”
