Download or read book Articles of Faith Primer written by Reed S Anderson and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024-01-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is known by shrewd advertising agencies when one uses brief statements or expressions to describe a product there is a good possibility important details could be absent, and the product may be something different from what it appears to be. This form of "whitewashing" or propaganda can also be seen in political and religious organizations by taking advantage of people's emotions and lack of knowledge. For a person to become better informed about any subject an open-minded and dedicated study is needed. This is the best way a person can make an intelligent decision about any product, policy, or belief. This book will examine the doctrines of the Prophet Joseph Smith Jr. and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (aka LDS or Mormon Church) using the Articles of Faith as an instrument towards understanding what these doctrines are. For anyone who is curious to know more about the LDS Church, these thirteen short statements will reveal many similarities to other Christian-based denominations and disclose unique beliefs as well. The Articles of Faith explains the principles of this devotion, but as details are lacking a person may be prone to ask questions, causing doubts to creep in. (As shown on the front cover) This work expands each article in a more complete manner in order to explain its real meaning based on past and present teachings, thus eliminating questions that may arise. The purpose of this book is not to criticize and mock the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or its leaders and members. Over the past decades the church has been a marvelous work and a wonder, helping millions of souls spiritually. It is a shining example throughout the world of decency and righteous living to those seeking purpose in life's existence. Nevertheless, a totality of all church doctrines, past and present, are revealed to give a more precise picture of the LDS Church and its teachings. You may be surprised to find some you've never heard of before.

Book excerpt: Many Christians evaluate their lives and ask the same questions: Am I doing enough? Have I shown enough discipline, enough dedication, or enough effort? Would praying and reading my Bible more help meovercome . . . remove . . . have . . .? You may feel that you put so much effort into improving your Christian life with no apparent fruit. Sins you thought would have been easier to overcome are still plaguing your daily life.You are not alone, and you are not crazy! Many Christians today live on this sort of performance-based treadmill, running fast and getting nowhere. Trying harder and doing more haven't produced assurance or victory over sin. You're exhausted. You feel empty and fake inside. You feel guilty for merely wanting to just coast, to give in, to stop trying. The foundation of Christianity is faith. And the foundation of the Christian faith, we will argue in this primer, is rest. In this book, Jon Moffitt, Jimmy Buehler, and Justin Perdue explain how weary pilgrims can find rest in Jesus Christ.

Download or read book Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Christians with Depression written by Michelle Pearce and published by Templeton Foundation Press. This book was released on 2016-07-25 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does religion belong in psychotherapy? For anyone in the helping profession, whether as mental health professional or religious leader, this question is bound to arise. Many mental health professionals feel uncomfortable discussing religion. In contrast, many religious leaders feel uncomfortable referring their congregants to professionals who do not know their faith or intent to engage with it. And yet Michelle Pearce, PhD, assistant professor and clinical psychologist at the Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Maryland, argues that if religion is essential to a client, religion will be a part of psychotherapy, whether it is discussed or not. Clients cannot check their values at the door more than the professionals who treat them. To Pearce, the question isn’t really, “does religion belong?” but rather, “how can mental health professionals help their religious clients engage with and use their faith as a healing resource in psychotherapy?” Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Christian Clientswith Depression is the answer to that question, as the book’s purpose is to educate mental health professionals and pastoral counselors about religion’s role in therapy, as well as equip them to discuss religious issues and use evidence-based, religiously-integrated tools with Christian clients experiencing depression. In this book, readers will find the following resources in an easy-to-use format: An overview of the scientific benefits of integrating clients’ religious beliefs and practices in psychotherapy An organizing therapeutic approach for doing Christian CBT Seven tools specific to Christian CBT to treat depression Suggested dialogue for therapists to introduce concepts and tools Skill-building activity worksheets for clients Clinical examples of Christian CBT and the seven tools in action Practitioners will learn the helpful (and sometimes not so beneficial) role a person’s Christian faith can play in psychotherapy. They will be equipped to discuss religious issues and use religiously-integrated tools in their work. At the same time, clergy will learn how Christianity can be integrated into an evidence-based secular mental health treatment for depression, which is sure to increase their comfort level for making referrals to mental health practitioners who provide this form of treatment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Christian Clients with Depression is a practical guide for mental health professionals and pastoral counselors who want to learn how to use Christian-specific CBT tools to treat depression in their Christian clients.
