"The Journey of a Christian Counselor" is written for the individual who feels drawn by the Holy Spirit to counsel, with or without formal training in the profession. It is a story within a story, a chronology of the spiritual and professional journey of a young woman searching for the meaning of a vision that she saw at the birth of her son. This vision changed her life, but it was not until the brutal death of her son that she gained the courage to release the vision and accept its purpose in her life.

You are not alone. How many times have you had such unbearable pain in your life that you just wanted your life to stop? You did not want to take another breath or even another step. When Life's burdens and fears have weighed you down until you feel you cannot breath, as if elephants are sitting on your chest. You beg God to make it stop and please make it stop now, Lord. You have done everything except to give up. Everyday is a deeper valley and you don't see any end in sight. You're tired of looking for answers and find yourself almost cursing the Lord for not taking the pain from your heart and body. You wonder if anyone is listening up there because of the silence. You have pushed away people for your own safety and lost dear family and friends from being so down and negative. Stop and read this book. The purpose in which I wrote "Tears On My Bible" is exaclty what it says. I spent hours upon hours of sitting in the floor reading through the Bible looking for any type of peace and answers to all of my "Why Lord questions. I mostly memorized verse's in Psalms, but I still felt alone. It is odd when you are on your mountains there are so many people around you, but wait until you are in the depths of the valley. When you look around while in the presence of the valley, that is what reveals who is really sticking with you and loves you. Let my tears fill the void in in your life and please realize you are never alone. That is God's promise. You have to get quiet and shut off the world then God's voice can be heard. Remember, his messages may come in several ways. It could be by hearing his voice, or hearing from one of his Messengers, or by reading a book. I am a Messenger from God sharing my tear stained lessons and letting you know you will always be okay. Don't give up, give in and close your mouth and open your ears. Join me as I relive my path lessons with the Lord. I am a voice that should not be alive to tell these true stories. I was never alone and neither are you.

Many people consider themselves Christians but are not sure they're going to heaven.

Always Ready features dozens of examples of real people who have been led out of their confusion to genuine faith in Christ.

"More than ever, pastors and serious Christian lay people need the message and challenge of this book. It flows easily from the heart and life of one who has walked the pathway of following the mandate of Jesus to take His message to the hurting, the sick, the wounded, the lonely, the confused of this world. It will send a sensitive pastor to his knees to ask God for a burning heart, and he will share that with the flock committed to his care. Ronald Hotrum has spoken his heart...a heart that has lived every moment of this Christ-honoring record."

Pastor Hotrum's personal stories and experiences of leading people to Christ will keep you motivated to read more.

In this extensive and vividly presented study, Mr. Hanhardt provides a model of how the spiritual life emerges at times of change and suffering in our lives. He presents a new view of ancient structures in the human psyche-the relationships that are our greatest gifts and that emerge into the realm of the spiritual. This study is based upon decades of research into multiple traditions but fully relies on the description of the most powerful healing structures we have, which are found in each member of the Christian Trinity. To achieve the goal of the growth of love, the ultimate purpose of human suffering, we must invite God into the process.

This book is designed for all who are involved in the healing process and is written in a language that is both accessible to the general public and also challenging of the traditional training and practice of psychotherapists and counselors. Mr. Hanhardt also presents throughout the book many techniques and structured self-studies and meditations for healing for clients and seekers who are directing their own healing process.

Each and every one of us is driven by our past, present or the unseen future being (positive or negative) depending on the individual choices we make. "He who controls the past also controls the future". However, this book enlightens our mind, refreshes our thoughts, reshapes our behaviour and empowers us to take control over our past in order to create the future we desire. As you read this book, you will discover that it is to your benefit to let go of any past hurts, resentment, bitterness and disappointment and to depend on God who is able to turn your negative situation into positive. The future is only obtained by those who make positive decisions to rise above all limitations by renewing their mind with God's word The future is for those who see potential treasures in trash. The future is created by those who make demands on it and not those who just wish things will happen to them. Perhaps you have given up on yourself because nobody believed in you, trusted you again, or written you off from successful ventures. It does not matter how terrible your background was. Your future is brighter than you think. This book also gives you some biblical characters that were not qualified in the sight of men but God qualified them and used them greatly to fulfil their destiny, impacted the world and influenced the people around them. Jacob was a cheat, Peter had a temper, David had an affair, Noah got drunk, Jonah ran from God, Paul was a murderer, Gideon was insecure, Miriam was a gossip, Martha was a worrier, Thomas was a doubter, Sara was impatient, Elijah was moody, Moses stuttered, Zaccheus was short, Abraham was old, and Lazarus was dead. Now, what's YOUR excuse? Can GOD use you or not? GOD doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the CALLED! Your background is not the ultimate. Nobody can stop you from getting to your destiny except you. God will definitely give you a Tomorrow that will surely make you forget your Yesterday. Let Go and let God take over.

Managing Clergy Lives gives a unique insight into the everyday lives of Church of England parish priests. It examines how men and women priests manage their many and everyday commitments to God, the Church and their personal relationships. In a fast-changing world, Managing Clergy Lives shows how the vocational commitment of priests to their ordinal vows remains steadfast. For today's clergy, the ordained life means obedience, sacrifice and a loss of intimacy, embodied in spiritual self-discipline and the ultimate dedication of body and soul to God. Written by an Anglican Bishop (Peyton) in Dundee and a Senior Lecturer from Lancaster University (Gatrell), Managing Clergy Lives opens a window onto clergy households in terms of personal relationships, spirituality and work-home balance. Drawing upon in-depth interviews with 46 Area/Rural Deans, it reports their everyday experiences using their own words. The book reveals the stories behind the enduring commitment within the Church and gets behind the scenes in order to understand the staying power of men and women who are 'becoming priests' across a lifetime.

Allow yourself to let go, be healed and enjoy life again Forgiveness has often incorrectly been associated with negativity and weakness. It has even been said that it means agreeing with sin and hurt. Yet genuine forgiveness says: ''It hurt me. You hurt me. But I choose to let go, so I can be healed. I give you over to God.'' Dealing with forgiveness has been one of the most challenging issues of my life. Bitterness can cause deep wounds, which can steal your joy and make you ill. However, the good news is that deliverance is possible through forgiveness. Once I discovered the freedom of letting go, I regained my confidence, my abillity to enjoy life and the courage to love again. John 8:36: ''If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.''

Why are some marriages more successful, more satisfying, and more enduring than others?

The answer to this question is perhaps the most widely studied and best-known part of our marriage and family-therapy literature, although arguably, it is the least understood and certainly the least followed in terms of avoiding the pitfalls that lead to unsuccessful marriages. What this book proposes as an answer to this question is the nearest thing we have to a manifesto for marriage and family living. It provides us with a clear description of what married life should be like. No words or ideas sum up the intention of this manifesto better or indicate more clearly its challenge to contemporary marriages than the words "making marriage user-friendly."

Second only to the study of God is the study of human behavior. Of particular interest is how people related to one another in groups, and how groups affect individual lives, for good or ill. This book investigates the how people interrelate with each other, sometimes in the most subtle of ways, and influence each other. Of special interest is how groups within the life of the church can be used to benefit the Body of Christ, the family of God. Several issues related to group interaction and types of groups will be discussed, including: Counseling Related Groups Recovery groups Growth Groups Principles of Psychology and Theology as applied to groups Dynamics of Group life in Local church

-Tim Quintario, a happy husband

Statistics say that fifty-two percent of marriages end in divorce and that more than half the children in America do not have a father figure in their life.

This is a tragedy, but it's one that can be remedied one husband at a time-starting with you. In "21 Days to Happily Ever After," author Chris Broughton presents a twenty-one day program for Christian husbands centering on nine responsibilities designed to help strengthen marriages.

A compilation of lessons learned during Broughton's thirty-two years of marriage and fifteen years of ministering to marriages, this guide offers a series of biblical truths to help men become better leaders, providers, lovers, warriors, advocates, standard bearers, forgivers, reconcilers, and intercessors.

With engaging stories and appropriate analogies, "21 Days to Happily Ever After" communicates what God expects of every man and shows you how to apply these principles to everyday life in order to live happily ever after with your wife.
