Counseling the Hard Cases: True Stories Illustrating the Sufficiency of God’s Resources in Scripture

Biblical counselors have worked for decades to demonstrate that God's resources in scripture are sufficient to help people with their counseling-related problems. In Counseling the Hard Cases, editors Stuart Scott and Heath Lambert use the true stories of real patients to show how the truths of God's word can be released to bring help, hope, and healing into the lives of those who struggle with some of the most difficult psychiatric diagnoses. From pastors and academics to physicians and psychiatrists, a world-class team of contributing counselors share accounts of scripture having helped overcome bipolar, dissociative identity, and obsessive compulsive disorders, postpartum depression, panic attacks, addiction, issues from childhood sexual abuse, homosexuality, and more. The book also shows how the graces of Christ, as revealed in the Bible, brought powerful spiritual change to the lives of such people who seemed previously burdened beyond hope by mental and emotional roadblocks. Contributors include John Babler, PhD, Kevin Carson, DMin, Laura Hendrickson, MD, Garrett Higbee, PsyD, Robert Jones, DMin, Martha Peace, RN, Steve Viars, DMin, and Dan Wickert, MD.

From Lost to Found: Giving Up What You Think You Want for What Will Set You Free

Being Lost is the First Step to Getting Found As a marriage and family therapist, one of Nicole Zasowski's greatest joys is helping her clients grow in emotional freedom. What she couldn't see for many years is that she was living her own life outside of that freedom, clinging to behaviors like shame, performance, and control in order to feel valued and safe. It was only when she was confronted with her own devastating pain and loss that Nicole realized her current way of life was failing her. She then discovered that sometimes God's rescue looks like prying our fingers off what we think we want so that we can receive what we truly need. And often, on the far side of pain we don't prefer, we find transformation we would not trade. In From Lost to Found, Nicole shares her story as she helps us - name what we fear losing most, - identify how our reactive behaviors are failing us, - discover what joy we can find in letting go, and - move forward in the freedom God has for us. God is writing a story of redemption in your life too. Find out for yourself that sometimes the greatest joy is found when we are drained of all misplaced hope and shallow identities. In the midst of pain or transition, discover a surprising path to healing as you lose your grip on comfort and control-and fall right into God's transformative grace. Includes discussion questions for individual reflection or small group study

Quiet Prayer: The Hidden Purpose and Power of Christian Meditation

God cannot fill what's already filled with itself. Are you struggling to hear God? Is it hard to find time in your busy day for more than a few minutes of prayer? Maybe it's time for a different approach. Maybe it's time to set aside real blocks of time to be quiet before the Lord. In Quiet Prayer, Marie Chapian-a life-long student of reflective prayer-examines the benefits of meaningful meditation, both ancient and modern. Did you know the passionate, early followers of Jesus regularly practiced meditation? It was the building block and very basis of their faith. Many of them chose to live apart from society, in cloistered cells and caves as hermits and recluses of the desert. These men and women of God were called Abbas and Ammas-mothers and fathers of the faith-and were looked up to as spiritual guides, mentors, healers and deliverers in their time. So, what can we learn from them? You may not have the time or desire to live in the desert, but you can learn how to cultivate a quiet place in your soul. A place where your faith will be grounded, and your mind can finally rest.
