Download or read book Mentoring for Marriage written by Daryl G. Donovan and published by CSS Publishing Company. This book was released on 2014-08-19 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While it's true that marriage can be a great adventure, it is also true that a successful marriage takes hard work, honest communication, and faith. Before entering into the marriage covenant, couples should consider the finer details of their relationship: How does Christ fit into the relationship? How will finances be handled? How should a husband love his wife, and how should a wife love her husband? Those questions and many more like them are asked in "Mentoring for Marriage," a seven-session study designed for engaged couples seeking pre-marital guidance and challenge. Believing that no study can exhaustively cover the topic of marriage, Daryl G. Donovan has created a resource that fosters critical discussion and thought among engaged couples who have sought out the careful mentorship of a pastor, counselor, or married couple. Firm in his conviction that every marriage must be sustained through Christ, Donovan provides plenty of space for a couple to work through individual differences and uncertainties. "Mentoring for Marriage "is an excellent resource for pastors, counselors, engaged couples, married couples, and mentors. This resource enables a reliance upon wisdom and encourages open and honest discourse for any couple wanting a God's-eye view of marriage before they say "I do." Daryl G. Donovanhas been the pastor of churches in Kansas, Missouri, Colorado, and Ohio. He is currently the Senior Pastor of Sanibel Community Church, Sanibel Island, Florida. Donovan received his Doctor of Ministry degree from San Francisco Theological Seminary. Daryl has written several books for CSS including "Men Mentoring Men, Revised Edition" (2014); "Men Mentoring Men Again," and "Maximizing Your Marriage." He and his wife Elaine have four children.

Download or read book Evidence Based Practices for Christian Counseling and Psychotherapy written by Everett L. Worthington Jr. and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2013-10-04 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are Christian treatments as effective as secular treatments? What is the evidence to support its success? Christians engaged in the fields of psychology, psychotherapy and counseling are living in a unique moment. Over the last couple decades, these fields have grown more and more open to religious belief and religion-accommodative therapies. At the same time, Christian counselors and psychotherapists encounter pressure (for example, from insurance companies) to demonstrate that their accommodative therapies are as beneficial as secular therapies. This raises the need for evidence to support Christian practices and treatments. The essays gathered in this volume explore evidence-based Christian treatments, practices, factors and principles. The authors mine the relevant research and literature to update practicing psychotherapists, clinical researchers, students, teachers and educated laypersons about the efficacy of certain Christian-accommodative therapies. Topics covered in the book include: devotional meditation cognitive-behavior therapy psychodynamic and process-experiential therapies couples, marriage and family therapy group intervention The book concludes with a review of the evidence for the various treatments discussed in the chapters, a guide for conducting clinical trials that is essential reading for current or aspiring researchers, and reflections by the editors about the future of evidence-based Christian practices. As the editors say, "more research is necessary." To that end, this volume is a major contribution to a field of inquiry that, while still in its infancy, promises to have enormous implications for future work in Christian counseling and psychotherapy. Christian Association for Psychological Studies (CAPS) Books explore how Christianity relates to mental health and behavioral sciences including psychology, counseling, social work, and marriage and family therapy in order to equip Christian clinicians to support the well-being of their clients.
