Christian Psychotherapy in Context combines theology with the
latest research in clinical psychology to equip mental health
practitioners to meet the unique psychological and spiritual needs
of Christian clients. Encouraging therapists to operate from within
a Christian framework, the authors explore the intersection between
a Christian worldview and clients' emotional struggles, drawing
from sources including both foundational theological texts and the
"common factors" psychotherapy literature. Written collaboratively
by two clinical psychologists, an academic psychologist, and a
theologian, this book paves the way for psychotherapeutic practice
that builds on Christian principles as the foundation, rather than
merely adding them to treatment as an afterthought.

Christians are hungry for a return to their own tradition to
cultivate meditation practices that are both psychologically and
spiritually fruitful. In recent decades, mindfulness meditation,
which originates from the Buddhist tradition, has been embraced in
many settings as a method for addressing a plethora of symptoms.
What would it look like to turn instead to the Christian faith for
resources to more effectively identify and respond to psychological
suffering? Over the last decade, Dr. Joshua Knabb has conducted a
variety of empirical studies on Christian meditation, focusing on
both building theory and testing specific, replicable practices. In
this overview and workbook he presents the foundations of a
Christian-sensitive approach to meditation in clinical practice.
