Helpful Truth In Past Places: The Puritan Practice Of Biblical Counselling
by Mark DeckardPuritan writers-theologians were masters at understanding the nature of human beings and applying Scripture in practical ways to help people. Looking to Scripture as the final authority, the Puritans grounded their own counselling practices in a proper view of the sovereignty of God and the underlying heart issues of people. By understanding why people struggle and the provision God makes for our struggles, counsellors today will be better equipped to guide those they counsel toward God-appointed solutions.

Helping People Through Grief
by Delores KuenningCongregations are becoming increasingly aware how important a role their members can play in assisting one another in times of grief and despair. Delores Kuenning's book is a remarkable "textbook" to recommend for teaching caring people how to help helpfully. It is the most comprehensive treatment of "How to Care" I have ever come across. It is an encyclopedia of information on every conceivable form of grief. But more than that, it describes simply and directly how to respond to these griefs. All of the suggestions are based upon the accumulated wisdom of the Scriptures, church tradition and the experiences of present-day Christians. The author's sensitivity to the power of emotions is enhanced by her knowledge in the fields of both theology and the social sciences, which are evident on every page. She is a lay person's theologian. -- Granger E. Westberg, Author of Good Grief.

Helping the Good Shepherd: Pastoral Counselors in a Psychotherapeutic Culture, 1925–1975 (Medicine, Science, and Religion in Historical Context)
by Susan E. Myers-ShirkThis history of Protestant pastoral counseling in America examines the role of pastoral counselors in the construction and articulation of a liberal moral sensibility. Analyzing the relationship between religion and science in the twentieth century, Susan E. Myers-Shirk locates this sensibility in the counselors’ intellectual engagement with the psychological sciences. Informed by the principles of psychology and psychoanalysis, pastoral counselors sought a middle ground between science and Christianity in advising anxious parishioners who sought their help for personal problems such as troubled children, violent spouses, and alcohol and drug abuse. Myers-Shirk finds that gender relations account in part for the great divide between the liberal and conservative moral sensibilities in pastoral counseling. She demonstrates that, as some pastoral counselors began to advocate women’s equality, conservative Christian counselors emerged, denouncing more liberal pastoral counselors and secular psychologists for disregarding biblical teachings. From there, the two sides diverged dramatically. Helping the Good Shepherd will appeal to scholars of American religious history, the history of psychology, gender studies, and American history. For those practicing and teaching pastoral counseling, it offers historical insights into the field.

Heme aquí, Señor, envíame a mí
by Josué YrionHoy en día, miles de personas escuchan el llamado de Dios para entrar en el ministerio y en el servicio misionero.

En Efesios 4:11 dice: "Él mismo constituyó a unos, apóstoles; a otros, profetas; a otros, evangelistas; a otros, pastores y maestros". Y es precisamente en Su llamado que descansa la autoridad por la cual el evangelio ha sido proclamado a través de la historia de la iglesia.
Henna House: A Novel
by Nomi Eve&“A touching coming-of-age story&” (Publishers Weekly) in the tradition of Anita Diamant&’s The Red Tent, about a young woman, her family, their community and the customs that bind them, from &“a storyteller of uncommon energy and poise&” (Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times).This vivid saga begins in Yemen in 1920. Adela Damari’s parents’ health is failing as they desperately seek a future husband for their young daughter, who is in danger of becoming adopted by the local Muslim community if she is orphaned. With no likely marriage prospects, Adela’s situation looks dire—until she meets two cousins from faraway cities: a boy with whom she shares her most treasured secret, and a girl who introduces her to the powerful rituals of henna. Ultimately, Adela’s life journey brings her old and new loves, her true calling, and a new life as she is transported to Israel as part of Operation On Wings of Eagles. Rich, evocative, and enthralling, Henna House is an intimate family portrait interwoven with the traditions of the Yemenite Jews and the history of the Holocaust and Israel. This sensuous tale of love, loss, betrayal, forgiveness—and the dyes that adorn the skin and pierce the heart—will captivate readers until the very last page.
Henri Bergson and the Philosophy of Religion: God, Freedom, and Duration (Routledge Studies in Twentieth-Century Philosophy)
by Matyáš MoravecThis book connects the philosophy of Henri Bergson to contemporary debates in metaphysics and analytic philosophy of religion. More specifically, the book demonstrates how Bergson’s philosophy of time can respond to the problem of foreknowledge and free will. The question of how humans can be free if God knows everything has been a perennial issue of debate in analytic philosophy of religion. The solution to this problem relies heavily on what one thinks about time. The problem of time is central to Bergson’s philosophical system. In this book, the author offers a systematic application of Bergson’s thought to the freedom and foreknowledge problem. The first chapter presents a discussion of Bergson’s central concept of la durée (duration). The subsequent two chapters link la durée to the relation of time and space. Here the author provides a Bergsonian response to McTaggart’s argument for the unreality of time and develops a novel theory of time connected to Bergson’s analysis of temporal experience. The last three chapters explore the relation between free will, determinism, and divine foreknowledge. The author reconstructs Bergson’s theory of freedom and shows how it undermines the underlying dogmas of contemporary free-will theories. The author then argues that Bergson’s philosophy can be used to resolve the free will and foreknowledge problem in the philosophy of religion. The monograph concludes by opening avenues for new research into Bergson and analytic philosophy of religion, such as the philosophy of religious language, the relation between God and modality, religious experience, and religious pluralism. Henri Bergson and the Philosophy of Religion will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working on Bergson, 20th-century continental philosophy, philosophy of religion, and philosophy of time.
