“In Agnostic at the Altar, Dr. John Van Hagen offers a remarkably thoughtful, scholarly, yet highly personal reflection on the stories and wisdom of the great Jewish prophets such as Elijah, Ezekiel, Amos, Jeremiah, and Jesus in an attempt to better understand and appreciate the spiritual and transcendent nature of the Judeo-Christian tradition through these prophetic models. Dr. Van Hagen, like so many people today, is agnostic yet searching for meaning, purpose, wisdom, and truth through the stories told within the Judeo-Christian worldview. Anyone interested in a deeper appreciation and better understanding of these spiritual and religious giants within these faith traditions will absolutely love this book and won't be able to put it down.”
Developing Clinicians of Character
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“Professor Terri Watson’s new book, Developing Clinicians of Character: A Christian Integrative Approach to Clinical Supervision, is a delight and just what the doctor ordered! It is well written and researched, very engaging and practical, and highlights the critically important and mostly neglected topic of character and ethical formation among clinical supervisors in mental health fields from a uniquely Christian perspective. Certainly this is a must-read for any clinical supervisor who embraces the Christian tradition, but it likely would be of interest and value to those of other faith traditions as well. This is a winner for sure and will surely help generations of supervisors and trainees alike.”
Christian Living
“In Flourishing Life: Now and in the Time to Come, Dr. Levy-Achtemeier well integrates her knowledge, skill, and wisdom from her previous career as a top-flight academic psychologist and professor with her current career as an Episcopal priest, beautifully blending evidence-based research with pastoral and theological understanding. Very few books of this nature do this well and the reader will be grateful for this important, well-written, page-turning, and compelling contribution in their efforts to flourish both now and in the time to come.”
History & Biography
“As a former Catholic priest and current psychologist, John Van Hagen uniquely blends psychology and theology to provide the reader with deep social psychological and religious insights into the confluence of factors that lead to the expansion and proliferation of Christianity as we have come to know it today. Refreshingly, as an agnostic, he presents an objective view not blinded by any particular agenda. This is a must-read for anyone interested in the emerging Christianity of the past and the present.”
Christian Living
“In The Fiction of our Lives, Sandra Levy-Achtemeier beautifully balances her unique roles and talents as a neuroscientist, psychologist, and Episcopal cleric along with her skills as an excellent and engaging writer to offer a page-turning and compelling reflection on the narrative of our lives. This is a really good book and will be especially of interest for all those who are interested in reflecting on their own lives and stories as they enter their mid to later years. Book clubs will love this one!”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“In The Road to Joy, Dr. Kevin McClone offers thoughtful, insightful, and unique insights into following a lifepath that is psychologically and spiritually grounded and meaningful. During turbulent and discombobulating times, his book acts like a cool drink on a hot day as it is much needed and appreciated in ways that you don't even fully realize until you are finished with it.”
