Richard E. Butman And Stanton L. JonesAdditional Info
The wide variety of psychotherapies that psychologists and students of psychology face can make for a confusing picture. The level of complexity is multiplied for Christians since they must ask how a particular psychotherapy fits (or doesn’t fit) with a Christian understanding of persons and their suffering. In this expanded and thoroughly update edition, Stanton Jones and Richard Butman continue to offer a careful analysis and penetrating critiques of the myriad of psychotherapies now current in the field of psychology including:Classical Psychoanalysis
Contemporary Psychodynamic Psychotherapies
Behavior Therapy
Cognitive Therapy
Person-Centered Therapy
Experiential Therapies
Family Systems Theory and Therapy
Two valuable new chapters have been added: “Community Psychology and Preventative Intervention Strategies” and “Christian Psychotherapy and the Person of the Christian Psychotherapist.” Opening and closing chapters discuss foundational concerns on the integration of psychology and theology and present the authors’ call for a “responsible eclecticism.” Modern Psychotherapies remains an indispensable resource.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Gasp : You Will Spend Forever Somewhere How To Make Sure Its Heaven
$19.98A Word from the Author
This back page is supposed to have something on it, which draws you in to buying this book. The truth is, most people won’t buy this book for themselves. “GASP!” is usually purchased as a gift for others–people get and give it to the individuals, whom they love and deeply care about. So, I’m skipping the marketing-blurb and going to shoot-straight with you.You need to know that there is a devil, who doesn’t want you reading this book. He’s that little voice in your head, telling you to put this book down. He’s in your mind, telling you that I’m out of mine. (Being that I was born in a mental institution, I very well may be out of my mind.) But, I’m bright enough to ask why he would want to keep you from reading this book? I’m also wise enough to know that it’s because he understands the content of this book can be used to change the destiny of your soul forever.
What will you do? –Discard this book, and face the fall-out that comes from listening to satan; or read it, and experience the most astounding transformation you have ever imagined?

When God created the heavens, earth and the entire universe, he caused order and established it. All that there is a mighty God has created. He stretched out His arm and spoke the world into existence. Heaven is a place of incredible sight and matchless beauty.

ESV And The English Bible Legacy
$20.00Describes the chief characteristics of historic English Bible translation, and places the ESV in this classical stream.
Modern Bible translations are at a crossroads as multiple translation philosophies argue that Bible translations ought to be done a certain way. So who’s right? And what has been the historic view of English Bible translators?
Leland Ryken, an expert on the literature of the Bible, brings clarity to questions of how modern Bible translations should be viewed in their historical context. He begins by tracing the history of English Bible translation from William Tyndale to the King James Bible, outlining important distinctions. In the view of these historic translators, there is a right way and a wrong way to translate the Bible.
Ryken concludes that essentially literal Bible translations best adhere to the legacy of classic English Bible translation. He contends that the English Standard Version is a true heir of this classical stream and concludes with an argument on why the ESV can serve as the translation of choice for Christians in all walks of life. This book will be a great resource for Christians who have questions about why we have different Bible translations and how to choose between them.

Gentrified : An Owners Manual For The Rest Of Your Life

Ownership has responsibility; accepting that responsibility is up to us. In our rush toward the rest of our lives, we have tried taking shortcuts, only to end up somewhere we don’t want to be. We take medications we rely on to live, ingest nutritional supplements to balance our lack of energy, and end up with a spirit that is just plain worn out from seeking God in all the wrong places. This book is about taking ownership of the temple we live in. It’s about adjusting our attitudes toward wellness, realizing new ways to find exercise in the normal everyday motions we make, seeing food in a new and exciting way, and rediscovering the life-giving spirit.

Every Body Matters
$18.99Few pastors or Christian writers have dared to approach the subject of how proper eating and an active lifestyle can affect how we serve God. Author Gary Thomas does just that. And he reaches all the way back to the apostle Paul, who wrote that we need to prime our bodies to become, ‘an instrument for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.’ To illustrate the body/soul correlation, Thomas presents engaging and diverse stories that include a young mom who got fit through volleyball and reaped spiritual rewards in her marriage, a 300-pound pastor who realized his obesity was eroding his ministry impact, and a woman who gained the spiritual strength to survive a contentious divorce by training for a marathon. In every instance, Thomas makes a direct connection between the physical challenge and its spiritual consequence. This book is a must read for anyone seeking new and compelling motivation for strengthening their bodies and fortifying their souls.

These invisible beings can come into our universe uninvited and frighten those who do not recognize them or understand why they have come.
These beings do not usually harm us bodily, but they can make use feel as if they can. Those who cross our paths, we will never forget. God himself is our only protector.
