About
This book is about addressing issues that are holding us back, keeping us stuck, suffering, and struggling. There is hope. The Bible has all the answers we need for biblical living and dealing with core psychological issues in a healthy way. God meets our spiritual and psychological needs, but we don't always see that when we are struggling or suffering.
In Bible times, people didn't have psychology, it's true, but they had God's word, and God knows what men, women, and children need to grow from infancy to mature adults. We can't oversimplify people's problems and just ask them to "pray more" to solve deep-rooted core issues, because people and problems are complex. We need to be careful to not reduce issues to one simplistic cause, but rather understand that there are many causes-our past, traumas, social and psychological influences, etc. God used prophets, priests, and leaders to counsel, to encourage, to teach. In fact, God gave a whole book on wisdom on how to deal with life. Jesus counseled (or talked and taught to) people, gave them truth and perspective about life, and helped them to cope better.
This book takes an integrative approach to solving problems, looking at our self-worth and how the Bible and psychology work together to address the whole person, whom God created.
