A child is frightened by a thunderstorm. A girl is ignored by her playmates. Two kids fight over a book. To most people, these would just be typical problems in a child's life, to be solved and then ignored as everyone moves on to the next activity. Dr. Roslyn Phenix, PhD (licensed clinical pastoral counselor) doesn't think like that. She believes that many problems children face can teach us important truths about personal and spiritual growth. She endeavors to not just teach children but also learn from them. Chronicles of a Therapist is an inspirational and insightful compilation of the knowledge she has gained from observing and counseling young children. Phenix presents thirteen different scenarios she has encountered as a children's mental health therapist and uses them to illustrate lessons the Bible teaches us about Christian life-whether it be patience, humility, faith, or another important virtue. She then offers a special prayer readers can use to ask God for help dealing with the specific challenge addressed in the chapter. Readers who yearn for reassurance that God has a purpose for them will find comfort and guidance in this concise but powerful guide to finding meaning in everyday activities.
