you can be happy only if you serve God

the author explains that fear is an idol and when we give up to fear, we serve an idol, not God. We are unhappy when we serve idols because we have not surrendered to God. this book helped me tremendosly in understanding how to be at pease with myself and everyone else. one of the best books i have ever read.

AWESOME!

SUCH an awesome book! Almost done and can't put it down... I want to do a lot more research on DOBT therapy now...and maybe use it when I become a counselor. I will definitely be saving this book!

healing through self-knowlege and story

Helps the reader move into a fuller, more loving relationship with God, with others, and with him/herself by way of understanding and working to change beliefs about his/her place in his/her family of origin. Employing the wisdom of his experience as a pastoral psychologist as well as the insights of clinical researchers and therapists, the author offers ways (through storytelling) to demythologize false absolutes and to refocus distorted maps of reality. He then develops practical exercises to promote spiritual growth and poses carefully guided questions to enable self-understanding. The result is a strengthening of the power to love. The author is Professor of Pastoral Psychology at Boston University School of Theology.

God's Pursuit of You

Outstanding! There is an ancient proverb that says "Though it cost all you have, get understanding." This is the best book I have ever seen that combines the sprirtual reality and the psycological issues a person faces on life's journey.
