Some are true--but many are false. James Bryan Smith believes those thoughts determine not only who we are, but how we live. In fact, Smith declares, the most important thing about a person is what they think about God. The path to spiritual transformation begins here.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Turning to the Gospels, Smith invites you to put your ideas to the test to see if they match up with what Jesus himself reveals about God. Once you've discovered the truth in Scripture, Smith leads you through a process of spiritual formation that includes specific activities aimed at making these new narratives real in your body and soul as well as your mind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e At the end of each chapter you'll find an opportunity for soul training, engaging in spiritual practices that reinforce the biblical messages on your mind and heart. Because the best way to make a complete and lasting change is to go through the material in community, small group discussion questions also accompany each chapter. Those who are leading apprentice groups will also find additional help and opportunities to interact with other leaders at the Apprentice website. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This deep, loving and transformative book will help you discover the narratives that Jesus lived by--to know the Lord he knew and the kingdom he proclaimed--and to practice spiritual exercises that will help you grow in the knowledge of our good and beautiful God.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Features-\u0026amp;-Benefits\"\u003e \u003ch2\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides a theological basis for faith along with help in living out our faith through spiritual practice\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGeared toward lay people and designed to be used in a small group series\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes questions for individual reflection and processing embedded in the text\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes a small group discussion guide\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes a description of a companion spiritual practice to try in each chapter\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides nine weeks of material for small groups plus an introductory week\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Reviews-\u0026amp;-Endorsements\"\u003e \u003ch2\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Endorsements\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"The Apprentice Series is the best practice I have seen in Christian spiritual formation.\" \u003cbr\u003e - Dallas Willard, author of The Divine Conspiracy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"I know from our long relationship that Jim Smith is a fine and trustworthy man, who authentically knows 'the good and beautiful God.'

But wouldn’t we like to pray more? Better? Stronger? With more fire, faith, and fervency? Yet we have kids to feed, bills to pay, deadlines to meet. The calendar pounces on our good intentions like a tiger on a rabbit. And what about our checkered history with prayer? Uncertain words. Unmet expectations. Unanswered requests. We aren’t the first to struggle with prayer. The first followers of Jesus needed prayer guidance too. In fact, prayer is the only tutorial they ever requested. And Jesus gave them a prayer. Not a lecture on prayer. Not the doctrine of prayer. He gave them a quotable, repeatable, portable prayer. Couldn’t we use the same? In Before Amen best-selling author Max Lucado joins readers on a journey to the very heart of biblical prayer, offering hope for doubts and confidence even for prayer wimps. Distilling prayers in the Bible down to one pocket-sized prayer, Max reminds readers that prayer is not a privilege for the pious nor the art of a chosen few.

But your leadership is needed! In every sector of society, from families to businesses to churches, leadership roles remain empty, waiting for people willing and able to step up and make wise decisions that bring positive change.

Yet many counselors are not adequately prepared to help those suffering from complex posttraumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD), including survivors of child abuse, religious cult abuse, and domestic violence. A lack of consistent terminology in the field makes finding resources difficult, but without reliable training counselors risk inadvertently retraumatizing those they are trying to help. In this second edition of Restoring the Shattered Self, Heather Davediuk Gingrich provides an essential resource for Christian counselors to help fill the gap between their training and the realities of trauma-related work. Drawing on over thirty years of experience with complex trauma survivors in the United States, Canada, and the Philippines, she ably integrates the established research on trauma therapy with insights from her own experience and an intimate understanding of the special concerns related to Christian counseling. In addition to presenting a three-phase treatment model for C-PTSD based on Judith Herman's classic work, Gingrich addresses how to treat dissociative identity disorder clients, respond to survivors' spiritual issues, build resilience as a counselor in this taxing work, and empower churches to help in the healing process. This new edition is updated throughout to match the DSM-5 and includes new content on how the body responds to trauma, techniques for helping clients stay within the optimal zone of nervous system arousal, and additional summary sidebars. With this thoughtful guide, counselors and pastors will be equipped to provide the long-term help that complex trauma survivors need to live more abundantly.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"christianmovieshop.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46798948073668,"sku":"828661VP","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/0817\/8372\/files\/c293385e-4895-4511-bb76-79ce989ea2b6__58507.1733100404.1280.1280.jpg?v=1790115648"}],"url":"https:\/\/christianmovieshop.com\/collections\/books-christian-living.oembed","provider":"christianmovieshop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
