  Freedom To Heal

  $45.00

  A Practitioner’s Guide to Caring for Survivors of Sexual Abuse

  For adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse, there is no easy road to healing. Yet there is hope for true freedom-to thrive, to love others, and to love God.

  Tammy Schultz, Hannah Estabrook, and Adam David Dell have written a go-to resource for faith-based practitioners caring for survivors of sexual abuse. Drawing from their personal experiences and work with survivors, the authors discuss the integration of theology and mental health practices and the healing pathways of the counseling journey. They also incorporate current research into each chapter, offering evidence-based, practical guidance. This book:

  *reflects on biblical trauma narratives that show God’s concern for survivors;

  *helps counselors and caregivers compassionately comprehend survivors’ experiences;

  *suggests evidence-based therapeutic approaches and practices that address individualized needs;

  *addresses vicarious traumatization and sustainable practices for clinicians and caregivers; and

  *recommends interventions and resources to equip practitioners with next steps.

  While every client’s experience is unique, there are common themes and challenges practitioners must understand as they craft personalized treatments. Freedom to Heal is an honest, compassionate guide for therapists, medical professionals, pastoral counselors, and others who endeavor to journey with trauma survivors.

  Sexuality And Sex Therapy Second Edition

  $64.99

  A Comprehensive Survey of Human Sexuality from a Christian Perspective

  The field of human sexuality is one of ever-increasing complexity, particularly for Christian therapists and psychologists seeking to be faithful to Scripture, informed by science, and sensitive to culture. In Sexuality and Sex Therapy, Mark Yarhouse and Erica Tan offer a survey and appraisal of this field from a Christian perspective, grounding sex therapy in the biblical affirmation of physicality and the redemptive purposes of human life.

  This second edition:

  *Integrates the latest research with a Christian worldview as the authors explore sexual dysfunctions as well as various clinical issues and treatments,

  *Updates key research findings in each chapter, and

  *Addresses more recent societal trends related to gender identity, non-normative sexualities, digital and social media, and other areas of interest.

  Not only have Yarhouse and Tan written a standard resource for Christian therapists and counselors, but they also challenge the church to talk more honestly and openly about the blessing of human sexuality.

  Skills For Safeguarding

  $49.99

  The Only Textbook on Safeguarding for Faith-Based Ministries and Seminaries

  Christians are called to care for the vulnerable, but churches have not always led the way in becoming places safe from abuse. Increasingly, organizations and churches are recognizing the importance of the field of safeguarding: training and equipping people to prevent abuse, act when abuse happens, and promote healing for survivors.

  Lisa Compton and Taylor Patterson have edited the first textbook on safeguarding designed specifically for faith-based ministries and seminaries. In Skills for Safeguarding, experts from universities around the world have contributed on topics in their areas of expertise. This book:

  *provides an understanding of trauma and abuse from a Christian integration perspective;
  *gives insight into perpetrator dynamics and systems that enable abuse;
  *teaches skills necessary to interact with victims and their families;
  *includes questions for self-reflection and discussion; and more.

  Safeguarders can be individuals hired by the church in a vocational role, but they can also be pastors and other church leaders, laypeople, mental health professionals, and anyone who desires to promote a safe environment. Ideally, every adult in the church should recognize their responsibility to safeguard and seek to grow in skills to better serve abuse survivors and cultivate a culture that protects the vulnerable. This book provides the essential starting place.

  Christian Counselors Manual

  The Christian Counselor’s Manual is a companion and sequel to Dr. Jay Adams’ influential Competent to Counsel, which first laid out a vision of “nouthetic” counseling–a strictly biblical approach to behavioral counseling and therapy.

  *Who is qualified to be a counselor?
  *How can counselees change?
  *How does the Holy Spirit work?
  *What role does hope play in therapy?
  *What is the function of language in a counseling session?
  *How do we ask the right questions?
  *What often lies behind depression?
  *How do we deal with anger?
  *What is schizophrenia?

  These and hundreds more questions are answered and explained from a biblical perspective in this comprehensive resource.

  A full set of indexes, a detailed table of contents, and a full complement of diagrams and forms make this a classic reference book for biblical counseling.

  Following on the heels of the successful Hope-Focused Marriage Counseling, Jennifer Ripley and Everett Worthington Jr. have written a new book that expands upon their previous theoretical approach while describing in detail many new practical interventions for couple counseling and enrichment. Weaving together classic cases outlined in Hope-Focused Marriage Counseling and over 75 brand new practical interventions, Ripley and Worthington root their practical examples in an even deeper theoretical framework and research in attachment and intimate bonds. Written with the couple counselor in mind, this book occupies a rare niche that is accessible not only to therapists and counselors but also to pastors and married couples alike. Both licensed clinical psychologists and experienced counselors, the authors base this follow-up work on the pillars of their Hope-Focused Couples Approach. The assessment tools included help facilitate improved marriages in many settings, and the combination of theory and real-life case studies easily integrates into the practices of professional counselors and researchers as well as into the lives of couples.

  Finally Free : Fighting For Purity With The Power Of Grace

  $19.99

  If you have struggled personally against the powerful draw of pornography, or if you have ever tried to help someone fighting this battle, you know how hard it is to break free. But real freedom isn’t found by trying harder to change. Nor is it found in a particular method or program. Only Jesus Christ has the power to free people from the enslaving power of pornography.

  In Finally Free, Dr. Heath Lambert, a leader in the biblical counseling movement, lays out eight gospel-centered strategies for overcoming the deceitful lure of pornography. Each chapter clearly demonstrates how the gospel applies to this particular battle and how Jesus can move readers from a life of struggle to a life of purity.

  If you or someone you care about is fighting this battle, there is good news: No matter how intense or long-standing the struggle, Jesus Christ can, will, and does set people free from the power of pornography.

  Additional 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.

  Theology Of Christian Counseling

  $26.99

  A Theology of Christian Counseling is a book that connects biblical doctrine with practical living. Salvation, that central concern of Protestant theology, is often too narrowly defined. It is thought to be “being saved from the consequences of sin.” But God is doing much more. He is making something new out of the old sinful nature. He is, in Christ, making new creatures. “No counseling system that is based on some other foundation can begin to offer what Christian counseling offers . . . No matter what the problem is, no matter how greatly sin has abounded, the Christian counselor’s stance is struck by the far-more-abounding nature of the grace of Jesus Christ in redemption. What a difference this makes in counseling!” In this book the reader will gain an insight into the rich theological framework that supports and directs a biblical approach to counseling. And the connection between solid theology and practical application will become compelling. This is a one-of-a-kind. Don’t ignore it!
