Why Christians Can't Trust Psychology

• Author: Ed Bulkley
• Publisher: Harvest House
• Publication Date: 1994
• Pages: 368

Today's search for inner fulfillment has exploded into what is now called the Recovery movement, complete with twelve-step seminars, counseling programs, and self-help books. Thousands are looking to Christian psychology to help them attain victory over modern dysfunctions. Does that mean the Bible alone is no longer adequate for the problems faced by Christians today? Some say we need the Bible plus psychology. Others say the Bible alone is sufficient.

With deep insight and candor, pastoral counselor Ed Bulkley presents the opposing sides of this issue -- and offers trustworthy, biblical answers for those who long to break away from pain and guilt and know true freedom...genuine inner peace...and a fresh beginning.

Totally Sufficient

• Editors: Ed Hindson & Howard Eyrich
• Publisher: Christian Focus
• Publication Date: 2004
• Pages: 272

Christian counselors agree that the Bible's message of salvation can radically change lives. Scripture can lead even the most unlikely people to faith but when it comes to everyday problems - is the Bible really enough? Can we say that scripture is sufficient for every counseling situation? Here we have more that a dozen highly trained counselors, medical experts and pastors who are highly respected in there fields. Every one has at least one doctorate relevant to the area they examine in this book. Their answers to the question stated above are enlightening, thought provoking and surprising.

True Spirituality

• Author: Francis A. Schaeffer
• Publisher: Tyndale House
• Publication Date: 1979
• Pages: 158

True Spirituality... seeks to ground the believer in true faith. It is a probing, penetrating search through the Scriptures for what it means to be truly Christian. Schaeffer himself said it should have been his first book, and he may have been right, for until you are grounded in the truth of God and are living it, you have nothing to defend in the marketplace of ideas. -Charles W. Colson (Foreword)

Trusting God

• Author: Jerry Bridges
• Publisher: Navpress
• Publication Date: 1990
• Pages: 215

Why is it easier to obey God than to trust him?

In an effort to strengthen his own trust in God during a time of adversity, Jerry Bridges began a lengthy Bible study on the topic of God's sovereignty. What he learned changed his life, and he now shares the fruit of that study with you in Trusting God.

As you begin to explore the scope of God's power over nations, nature, and the detailed lives of individuals, you'll begin to acknowledge His loving control. And as you come to know Him better, you'll find yourself trusting Him more completely. Even when life hurts.

Those Ugly Emotions

• Author: Ken Campbell
• Publisher: Christian Focus
• Publication Date: 1996
• Pages: 124

Essentially you can be viewed in three different ways. The person you think you are, the person other people think you are and the person God knows you to be. So the first place we should go to in order to understand how to manage our emotions, is God's word. Because only God really knows who we are.

Our real life has those uncontrolled times that we don't want others to know about, the times when we really dislike ourselves, those moments we even try to hide from God. Ken Campbell shows us where those 'ugly' emotions inside us come from and how to deal with them. This book is not lukewarm psychology dressed up as Christianity but a biblical way of dealing with our darker side. It is wonderfully practical but yet deeply spiritual and help us get to grips with the thoughts, attitudes and behavior that can drag us down.

The Gift of Listening

• Author: Robert Brizee
• Publisher: Chalice Press
• Publication Date: 1993
• Pages: 120

To listen to another person is to offer a gift.

To listen with caring to another person is to offer a gift of awareness.

 

To listen with acceptance to all facets of another person is to offer a gift of healing.

 

To listen with patience for new ways to see the past events of another person is to offer a gift of freedom.

 

To listen with reverence for new becomings emerging within another person is to offer a gift of grace.

 

Such are the gifts of listening as Robert Brizee portrays them in this provocative book. The author draws on the biblical notion of God as Abba, insights from process relational theology, and his extensive experience in pastoral psychology in developing a very practical "theology of listening." He illustrates his approach by weaving stories of an imaginary family and a hypothetical congregation to show how the church's unique ministry of listening can come alive.

• Publisher: Navpress
• Publication Date: 2003
• Pages: 223

What makes someone Godly? Scripture tells us that God has given us "everything we need for life and godliness." But what makes a Christian godly?

Holiness. The Christian's joint venture with God.

"Be holy, for I am holy," commands God to His people. But holiness is something that is often missed in the Christian's daily life. According to Jerry Bridges, that's because we're not exactly sure what our part in holiness is. In The Pursuit of Holiness, he helps us see clearly just what we should rely on God to do-and what we should accept responsibility for ourselves.

Whether you're continuing your pursuit of holiness or just beginning, the principles and guidelines in The Pursuit of Holiness will challenge you to obey God's command of holiness.

The Complete Husband

• Author: Lou Priolo
• Publisher: Pure Life Ministries
• Publication Date: 1998
• Pages: 293

The Complete Husband by Lou Priolo is the ground-breaking book that Christian men have been waiting for. In it, the author turns his years of biblical counseling wisdom to the subject of being a husband. But not just any husband. Rather, the husband that the Lord Jesus Christ wants all Christian men to be. The author reminds men that if they wished their wives came with an owner's manual, they did; it's called the Bible! Far from giving men carte blanche to order their wives around, Priolo shows men how the Bible instructs them to "know their wives." After all, wives have dreams, goals, desires--and sorrows, just like men. It is the husband's job to find out what they are and "cultivate" his wife so that she becomes spiritually fertile. The author reminds his readers that pleasing their wives does not automatically equate to the sexual arena. Men must think in terms of the whole relationship, the whole person. However, since he is aware that sexual relations is part of the blueprint God created for marriage, he devotes an entire chapter to the subject. Above all, Priolo stresses that it is biblical thinking that leads to tender actions, that in turn leads to complete fulfillment in the marriage bond.

Curing the Heart

• Authors: Howard Eyrich & William Hines
• Publisher: Christian Focus
• Publication Date: 2003
• Pages: 204

This book is really a text book for anyone involved or interested in Christian counseling. Both the authors teach the subject at a theological seminary in the States. Their influences include Jay Adams, a leading Christian psychologist, and Francis Schaeffer.

Section 1 helps to make a case for a different style of counseling, based on the Bible and on Christian principles. Only a Biblical framework can explain the "why?" of human behavior. The approach is therefore holistic as it tackles the heart of the human problem - the problem of the human heart.

Section 2 gives background as well as practical guidelines to those interested in becoming Christian Counselors.

Section 3 outlines the Counseling Process and give practical worksheets and guidelines for helping someone out of their situation.

This model of psychology is very much more prescriptive than anything in secular counseling, or in many Christian circles, but the authors are consistent in their approach and they have been teaching the material for many years. There are good appendices to aid the reader.

Having discovered the power that food has over their lives, counselor Elyse Fitzpatrick, author of Overcoming Fear, Worry, and Anxiety, helps them identify destructive eating habits; break the vicious cycle of emotional eating; develop a flexible plan suited to unique situations.

No More Hurting: Life Beyond Sexual Abuse

• Author: Gwen Purdie
• Publisher: Christian Focus
• Publication Date: 2005
• Pages: 171

Sexual abuse can be a bewildering and deeply uncomfortable topic. New reports on the issue are greeted with a shake of the head as we think 'How can that happen?' But have you ever then let your mind drift on to more comfortable topics with the next news item?

The Christian is called to have compassion. The Christian is called to go into the areas of life where most people feel uncomfortable - after all, Jesus did. Putting our heads in the sand about the subject of abuse is not an option. We have witnessed many fast-selling books in recent years about abuse but, although we admire the courage of the writer in surviving their ordeal, we are not always left with answers. This book is a thoroughly Christian response to issues surrounding sexual abuse. It is a frank and much needed look at a complex situation that affects more people than we want to believe. It offers real and positive answers - and practical help. Written by an experienced counselor, this book will help equip those who have suffered abuse and those who counsel them. It will also help anyone who knows the abused person (and the perpetrator of the abuse) to help them face the future and grasp the hope that is offered in Christ.
