How to Handle Pressure
by Clyde M. Narramore Ruth E. NarramoreBack Cover: "pressure seems to be an unavoidable element of modern-day life. We can't escape it. In fact, many of us have not learned to cope successfully with the variety of pressures that come our way. In this book the Narramores suggest practical solutions for Christians seeking to handle pressure. They discuss such issues as time and money management, physical fitness, setting realistic goals, having a confidant to share our burdens, and living an organized life. These pave the way to peace of mind and contented living." Unlike other books of this genre, the Narramores integrate their psychology within a Christian worldview by quoting scripture references and referring to Biblical concepts from both the Old and New Testament. However, because this book has a psychological foundation to it, the non-Christian can gain insights by concentrating on the psychological information and by ignoring the Christian content.

How to Have a Soul Winning Church

This is for the spiritual optimist in a dark age.” (From the Author’s Introduction)
How to Have an Enemy: Righteous Anger and the Work of Peace
by Melissa Florer-BixlerDoes Jesus' call to love our enemies mean that we should remain silent in the face of injustice? Jesus called us to love our enemies. But to befriend an enemy, we first have to acknowledge their existence, understand who they are, and recognize the ways they are acting in opposition to God's good news. <p><p>In How to Have an Enemy: Righteous Anger and the Work of Peace, Melissa Florer-Bixler looks closely at what the Bible says about enemies—who they are, what they do, and how Jesus and his followers responded to them. The result is a theology that allows us to name our enemies as a form of truth-telling about ourselves, our communities, and the histories in which our lives are embedded. Only then can we grapple with the power of the acts of destruction carried out by our enemies, and invite them to lay down their enmity, opening a path for healing, reconciliation, and unity. <p><p> Jesus named and confronted his enemies as an essential part to loving them. In this provocative book, Florer-Bixler calls us to do the same.

How to Help People Change: The Four-Step Biblical Process
by Jay E. Adams“While touching on many aspects of counseling, this book . . . is specifically designed to elucidate the process of counseling. I have often mentioned and illustrated that process, but not in the focused and systemic way that the four-step biblical process is set forth here. . . . This book presents a fresh perspective not only on how to counsel, but also on what measures to take at what stages of counseling.”—Jay Adams, from the preface Change is the essential goal of the counseling process. And, in the author’s words, “substantial change requires the alteration of the heart.” How can a Christian counselor facilitate such change? The answer, of course, may be found in Scripture, specifically in 2 Timothy 3:14–17. Jay Adams is a well-known counselor who bases his whole approach on Scripture. This book provides an unparalleled opportunity to see how he discovers and applies biblical principles as well as the way in which Scripture functions as the basis for his counseling approach. This book answers two questions: “How does a counselor help people change?” and, “How does Scripture provide the source of a counselor’s method?” How to Help People Change has much to say about the ongoing discussion of the relationship between theology and psychology in the enterprise of Christian counseling.

by Carlos WhittakerA much-needed reminder about what it means to be truly human in a world where people feel increasingly disconnected from each other and from God, by the popular author of Enter Wild.&“Carlos has created an antidote to what ails us.&”—New York Times bestselling author Jon AcuffThese are crazy times, people.

We can refuse to let disagreements define us. We can say no to becoming upset, rage-filled humans and say yes to fuller, happier lives.

One that, when times get crazy, is willing to get crazier (in a good way). One that understands the big joy of how to human.
