Couples in Conflict

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Richardson is thorough in his description of Bowen family systems theory and its use in marital counseling. His use of case material makes the theory come alive, illustrating the practical application of the theory. He challenges pastors and others doing marital counseling to rethink their assumptions and role, providing an alternative model that is both authentic and effective. An excellent resource for anyone working with couples in conflict.”

Encounters for Change

World Religions

“"In a world that is increasingly becoming the 'global village,' the ability to understand and appreciate religious differences is crucial. Dr. Grefe's work challenges us to think of creative ways to engage with our neighbors, whether they be in the community or in the institutions in which we work. Her practical approach invites the reader to consider the theoretical framework out of which her ideas emerge, but also the realistic ways in which we all have the ability to change and embrace the 'other.'”

Many Forms of Madness

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Many Forms of Madness is an intriguing, gripping account of personal and family pain around a loved one’s need and the society’s failure to provide help. This is a must read for persons and families dealing with the mental health system and for pastoral/spiritual caregivers caring for them. This work gives a candid view of the ways in which these needs are not adequately being met and suggests ways in which changes could be made to improve care.”

Physician of Souls

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“This book is a masterful revisioning of the common concepts around ministry and healing. With fierceness and authority, Stevenson-Moessner weaves narrative vignettes with theology, medical research, and church history to highlight the uniqueness of holistic, multivalent care. She artfully critiques assumptions about religion, sin, suffering, and healing through the lens of culture and gender to invite readers to another level of understanding about the minister's role in dealing with the sick, the broken, and the marginalized.”

Shared Wisdom

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“This updated edition is a must-read for all spiritual care practitioners as they strive to provide effective, relevant, quality care. Through case studies, Pamela Cooper-White identifies common themes and dynamics in today's world (for example, gender and racial equity, religious pluralism) that require the caregiver's commitment to crafting healthy responses through self-reflection, self-monitoring, and self-analysis.”

The Cry of Tamar

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“The Cry of Tamar encourages the church to step forward with courage to address the serious issue of violence against women. It is theological and practical, inviting pastoral leaders and congregations to utilize the healing forces of faith and community towards both survivors and perpetrators of violence.”

The Empathic God

Theology

“Frank Woggon redefines the narrative of the concept of atonement in a way that liberates it from traditional themes that often suppress and oppress. In the context of spiritual care, this reframing invites all to see this move as a means of healing of body, mind, and spirit. Practitioners in both the clinical and congregational setting can utilize this text to enhance their care of persons who are seeking to integrate faith practices into their lives.”
