Assessment for Counseling in Christian Perspective
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“Dr. Greggo has once again challenged us to think well about the work we do in Christian counseling and psychotherapy. A leading expert in the topic of assessment, he demonstrates both impressive breadth and depth in this important book. It is practical, current, well researched, and nicely written.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“I am so drawn to this book. It gets me beyond my guilt, denial and defensiveness. Yancey, as a black man, is coming along beside me, a white man, and acknowledging that this is our mutual task to figure out how to treat one another well. I don't feel condemned; I feel welcomed into a conversation. What a winsome and inviting way of framing the racial divide in our country.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“As 'roots' and 'wings' show up in famous quotes, so they do in this book. Rooted in Christian thought and the long tradition of integration, the authors demonstrate a deep understanding of Christian mental health care. At the same time, they challenge us to grow wings, to be innovative and bold as we confront the needs of our world alongside beautiful possibilities for the church. The stories are poignant, the writing is effective, the reflection questions are wise and challenging, and the authors are leaders in the field. This is a fantastic book. Be inspired to imagine the possibilities Beyond the Clinical Hour.”
Coming to Peace with Psychology
Science & Faith
“This book will make you think! Everett Worthington is one of the most intelligent and influential Christians involved in scientific psychology. Coming to Peace with Psychology may not put you at peace with every dimension of psychology and theology, but it will definitely deepen your perspective and provoke you to consider ways that the science of psychology can enrich our understanding of God.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“Counseling Techniques is a valuable resource for all Christian counselors and psychotherapists. The chapters are authored by the leading experts in the field, and Dr. Thomas brings the volume together well with a winsome and wise introduction where he situates strategies, interventions, and techniques in the broader context of effective counseling.”
Death Row Saved My Life and Other Stories
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“The stories of our lives shape and define us, which is why it is such a gift to find a respected philosopher who is also a master storyteller. In Death Row Saved My Life and Other Stories, Cliff Williams invites us into the raw complexity of human experience—where suffering and hope, pain and redemption, loss and growth all live side by side.”
Evidence-Based Practices for Christian Counseling and Psychotherapy
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“I love this book for all sorts of reasons. It is edited by some of the most gifted and insightful people I know. The chapters illustrate a variety of treatment approaches as well as diverse ways of gathering evidence to support those treatments. I also appreciate how thoroughly this book reflects wise collaboration between researchers and clinicians, and among early-, mid-, and late-career psychologists. This volume is timely and essential, reflecting both Christian wisdom and prevailing professional standards.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“In Family Therapies, Yarhouse and Sells provide an important resource for Christian scholars and therapists. The first two sections provide a thoughtful foundation and Christian critique of existing therapy models, reminiscent of what Stanton L. Jones and Richard E. Butman accomplished in their classic book, Modern Psychotherapies, but with a focus on models of family therapy. The third section, which could have been a book on its own, looks at contemporary issues in relation to a Christian perspective on family therapy. The final section casts a vision for an integrative model of family therapy. This is a significant book that will help shape the training and practice of Christian therapists.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“Eric Johnson's Foundations for Soul Care is an important book. Thorough, scholarly and provocative, this work calls us to reclaim the centrality of the Christian faith as we care for souls.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“Eric L. Johnson is one of the most thoughtful and thorough Christian scholars of our day. In God and Soul Care, Dr. Johnson once again demonstrates the profound continuity between Christian doctrine and Christian approaches to counseling, pastoral care, and psychotherapy. Each chapter of this text explores both the complex nuances of the Christian faith and why these nuances matter for those who care for souls. This volume will have both immediate value for the training of Christian counselors and longstanding value as a reference source as those counselors move through their careers.”
Work, Money & Leadership
“I experienced the blessing of team teaching with Gary Burge at Wheaton College for several years. Like his teaching, Mapping Your Academic Career is filled with wisdom, insight and the sort of interdisciplinary courage that makes scholars grow and prosper. This book will be a treasure to faculty members at any stage of their academic careers.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“Few volumes have served the Christian mental health community as reliably as Modern Psychopathologies, an enduring textbook and a trusted reference for practicing professionals. In this latest edition, the authors—three distinguished Christian scholars—once again offer a faithful and timely resource, carefully updated to reflect the most recent diagnostic criteria. As in previous editions, their 'Christian Appraisal' and 'Integrative Themes' sections stand out as thoughtful, wise, and helpful, ensuring this volume remains an important guide for both students and seasoned practitioners.”
Positive Psychology in Christian Perspective
Science & Faith
“If you're looking for the most thorough and thoughtful look at positive psychology from a Christian perspective, this is it. Dr. Hackney combines his impressive knowledge of research, an incisive Christian appraisal of human flourishing, and outstanding communication skills to provide this excellent textbook on one of the most promising movements in contemporary psychology.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“This insightful, incisive critique of contemporary psychology is only possible because Dr. Jones is so deeply knowledgeable about both Christianity and psychology. As always, his writing is clear, direct, and thought provoking. Reading this book is like taking a guided tour of contemporary issues in psychology, led by one of the finest Christian thinkers of our time.”
Christian Living
“I often hear people distinguish between wisdom and knowledge. Michael W. Mangis brings the two together--in his personal life, in his teaching and now in this remarkable book, Signature Sins. Read this book. It is deeply informative, spiritually inspiring, written with clarity, filled with practical questions for self-reflection and saturated with an awareness of God's grace.”
Spiritual Direction and the Care of Souls
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Gary W. Moon and David G. Benner are respected and visionary leaders in contemporary Christian soul care. Spiritual Direction and the Care of Souls is an excellent resource for those seeking to understand major traditions of spiritual direction and distinguish among psychotherapy, spiritual direction and pastoral counseling. History, wisdom, faith and compassion meet in the pages of this book.”
Women
“This book will make you think and feel and grow. Kim Gaines Eckert draws on her extensive knowledge in Christian theology, spiritual formation and psychology, and yet makes it practical for everyday life. This is not just a helpful book for women, but also for the men who walk alongside women as friends, colleagues and lifelong partners.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“Musicians understand their work is bigger than playing chords on a guitar, so they rely on intuitive, soulful presence to bring life to their art. Similarly, Dr. Terri Watson's latest book is technically excellent—drawing on current research and articulating the psychotherapy process with precision—but even more, she demonstrates the artistic wisdom of a seasoned clinician and educator. Yes, this is a vital book for those considering counseling or psychotherapy, but it is also important that we therapists read it to remember who we are and why we do this work.”
Christian Living
“As he has done many times before, David Benner guides us to a place of wisdom and devotion with this beautiful book. With empathy and insight he demonstrates that the two great tasks of life—knowing God and knowing ourselves—converge into a single adventure as we are drawn into the arms of our loving God.”
Science & Faith
“The Integration Journey starts strong and then gets better with each chapter. The authors demonstrate deep fidelity to Christian essentials while bringing fresh, creative perspectives calling us to love and justice. Something new and exciting is happening in integration, and this book leads the way.”
