Gratitude to God

Christian Living

“Gratitude is ground zero of the Christian life, yet gratitude to God is uniquely challenging. In this brilliant synthesis of psychological inquiry, philosophical reflection, and practical theology, Dunnington gets to the heart of why this is the case. Most importantly, he offers a path forward to reinvigorate your spiritual journey toward graced gratitude and life in all its fullness—or, rather, grate-fullness!”

The God Who Gives

Theology

“Like the Gospel upon which it is based, this book is life-changing. Reading it was an important step in my own spiritual journey toward freedom in Christ. Kelly reminds us that God’s love is the fuel that not only ignites our faith, it keeps us going and growing each day.”

The Gravity of Joy

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“What is the true life? That is the big question that animates this book. Angela Gorrell teaches us that in a well-lived life emotions are felt authentically, choices are embraced meaningfully, and self-transcending connections are forged broadly. These pages crackle with raw honesty, deep wisdom, profound realizations, and potent reminders that ultimately goodness can be found amidst the rancor of daily life. The author’s insights contained within are not ivory tower speculations, either. They were formed and forged through the crucible of living. Suffering is inevitable and inescapable but does not have to have the final say in our lives. Joy is a gift and ‘will always find us,’ writes Gorrell. You will find joy in these pages—may we all be grateful for this deeply moving gift she has given us.”

Theology for Psychology and Counseling

Theology

“Science-engaged theology has become a popular buzz phrase of late; however, theology-engaged psychological science has not been pursued as vigorously--until now. Callaway and Whitney argue compellingly and convincingly that theology is meaningful because it is about what matters most for human life and offers genuine value to psychological science.”

Thriving with Stone Age Minds

Science & Faith

“The nature of the flourishing life has been at the heart of debates for millennia. Competing and often incommensurable traditions describe, articulate, and recommend their vision of the good life. For centuries, the question of what it means to flourish was at the heart of great religions and philosophies, and science took a back seat. No longer. Barrett and King's goal is to bridge the historically unbridgeable gulf between Christian theology and evolutionarily psychology. Their rapprochement is intellectually engaging, emotionally satisfying, and spiritually illuminating. This book is required reading for the thinking Christians wrestling with the most important human question: What is the true, flourishing life, and how can we live it?”
