  Embodying Integration - A Fresh...

  Discussing spirituality and religion in the therapy room is increasingly accepted, some even forgetting that integration of psychology and Christianity was once a rare thing. Yet even as the decades-long integration movement has been so effective, the counselor's lived context in which integration happens grows increasingly complex. Christian practitioners need a fresh look at integration in a postmodern world. 
   
  In Embodying Integration, Megan Anna Neff and Mark McMinn provide an essential guide to becoming integrators today. Representing two generations of counselor education and practice, they model how to engage hard questions and consider how different theological views, gendered perspectives, and cultures integrate with psychology and counseling. More than focusing on resolving issues, Neff and McMinn help situate wisdom through personally engaging, diverse views and narratives. 
   
  Arising from conversations between an up-and-coming practitioner and her veteran integrator father, this book considers practical implications for the day-to-day realities of counseling and psychotherapy. Personal stories, dialogues between the coauthors, and discussion questions throughout help students, teachers, mental health professionals, and anyone interested in psychology and faith to enter―and continue―the conversation.

  A friend feels rejected. A counselee is angry. A church member's child is ill. You want to help, but where do you begin? Author and counselor Michael R. Emlet outlines a model of one-another ministry based on how God sees and loves his people primarily as saints, while bringing comfort to the sufferer, and faithfully speaking truth to the sinner. 
   
   
   
  Filled with everyday illustrations as well as counseling examples, Emlet demonstrates what it looks like to approach fellow believers simultaneously as saints, sufferers, and sinners. Emlet unpacks Scripture and draws on his many years of counseling experience to help counselors, pastors, and friends love others wisely and well. 
   
   
   
  As part of CCEF's Helping the Helper series, this guide for ministry provides an overall framework for wisely helping any person by loving others in the same way that God loves us.

  Many books have been written on the contemporary crisis of fatherhood, but most of them treat symptoms without identifying the underlying cause of the disease. In The Only Solution to the Self-Help Problem Roy Metter exposes the root of the crisis as a failure to acknowledge the truth about God and creation which results in man’s failure to live in a right relationship with God and his fellow man. May this book help a multitude of readers to know the truth that sets men free from sin and selfishness to achieve the purpose for which they were created.Hugh Owen, Director, Kolbe Center for the Study of the Creation 
  In The Only Solution to the Self-Help Problem Roy Metter lays bare the emptiness of the contemporary self-help literature that has led many men to build their lives on a false foundation. With logic and clarity, the author demonstrates that man can only find true happiness by fulfilling the purpose for which he was created, by cooperating with the grace of God in the Catholic Church and following her traditional liturgies and morals. What happens in the sanctuary determines what happens in the world.Lawrence Carney, Author of The Secret of the Holy Face: The Devotion Destined to Save Society 
  Modern Man has lost his roots; he has lost his traditions and culture; and as a result, he has lost his mind. ‘Self-help’ gurus have stepped into fill the void, but their supposed wisdom only goes so far and is lacking in a complete telos. In the book, Roy Metters offers us the solution to the modern self-help fad which has enwrapped the masses, even many Catholics. The true “self-help” plan is a plan of holiness rooted in the Faith of All Time. Roy’s book serves as a great antidote to this distinctly modern problem, and should be required reading.Kennedy Hall, Host of Mere Tradition and Best Selling Author

  Francis Bacon said: “If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts; but if he will be content to begin with doubts, he shall end in certainties.” 
   
  This book is about the ultimate question. There is nothing that has been pondered more by mankind and nothing more divisive. Is there a God? 
   
  We divide ourselves into groups because of the different answers we have created. Many misunderstand or create concepts of what God actually means and believe it to be the one defined by Christians, Jews or Muslims. And yet, many, when pushed with some profound philosophical questions about the origin of the universe have no answer, other than we came from nothing. 
   
  Did we come from the mind of a creator, or from absolutely nothing? These are our stark choices. To have faith and believe. To deny all and accept existence from nothing. Or to accept we still do not know. What are you?

Likewise, a hug or to be found in the arms of someone that means a lot to you is a feeling which is hard to express or utter into words.

That’s what we have been taught and may also teach others. In My Father’s Arms unfolds and looks at individuals’ perspectives of a father.

May you be surrounded in this life’s journey by others who cherish not only your present story or your prospect future but also value your precious past.
