Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the connections between religious problem-solving strategies and experiences of control, specifically an internal and external locus of control, God locus of control, and the illusion of control. In addition, it explored how these connections relate to psychological well-being. Undergraduates enrolled in psychology courses were recruited to participate in this study. They completed five scales and a computerized task. These scales consist of the Religious Problem-Solving Scale, the Locus of Control Scale, the Multidimensional Locus of Control Scale-God Control Revision (God control subscale), the Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depressed Mood Scale, and the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale. The computerized task will be a light bulb illumination task. While there were no significant results found in regards to the illusion of control, the religious measures of God control and religious problem-solving were shown to be consistent with previous findings. This can prove beneficial to clinicians working with religious clients..

Download or read book God's Psychology written by Terry L. Higgins and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2011-11 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Countless people sit in church each Sunday and suffer silently. They feel depressed, or anxious, or disillusioned with their lives but are afraid to admit it for fear they will be seen as having "weak faith"--"After all, if I love and trust God, I shouldn't feel like this! God's Psychology integrates biblical truth and psychological insights to clear away the obstacles that keep us stuck in feeling, thinking, and behaving in destructive ways. We are destined to repeat the same mistakes over and over again by our negative emotions, unloving attitudes, and impulsive behaviors because we fail to examine our heart, soul, and mind and "overcome" the deception in our lives. With God's Word as your anchor and sound mental health principles as your guide, God's Psychology will walk you through the process of both Self-Examination and God-Examination to uncover your negative emotions and thoughts while transforming the way you see your life. You'll learn about the common traps that lead you in self-deception and how to replace your faulty emotions and thoughts with God's truth about you! God's Psychology gives you the "hands-on" tools to challenge your self-deception, change the way to feel and think and live life authentically, enabling you to love God with all your heart, your soul, and your mind. Terry L. Higgins has a Ph.D. in Psychology and holds a Master's degree in Business Administration. Dr. Higgins has worked in the mental health profession for the past twenty-five years providing psychotherapy to adults, couples, and children, helping them overcome a wide range of mental, emotional, and behavioral problems. She currently has a private practice in Long Beach, California, and has been a public speaker on numerous subjects over the years including communication and listening skills training.
Book Synopsis Riddles Requiring Resolution ... for Christians by : Claude O. McCoy
Download or read book Riddles Requiring Resolution ... for Christians written by Claude O. McCoy and published by First Edition Design Pub.. This book was released on 2013-07-23 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever been in situations where we've known what we should do and just couldn't do it? Similarly, there have been things we've known we shouldn't do, but did anyway. This book, which clarifies the practical theology of Christian counseling, defines such problems and their solution. This makes it a must-read for pastors, counselors, Christian Ed teachers, and anyone else interested in resolving critical life riddles that confront all of us. It is these riddles which underlie most problems for which people seek professional counseling. You might consider it strange that most folks seek counseling because they are thinking about and processing life normally! The truth is that most folks in counseling are trapped in Riddles Requiring Resolution, something about which they are unaware. Many folks tell their counselor that they "just want to be normal." In reality, however, they are in counseling because they do act and think normally, and that is the problem. Author Bio: Midway through Claude McCoy's 47-year career as a Christian psychiatrist, he had a mid-life crisis that led to a severe depression and thoughts of suicide. Years of church and Sunday School attendance had not equipped him to deal successfully with the problems he was facing with health, marriage, career, and friends. He felt as though he was going to lose a large part of his life, and was powerless to remedy the situation. He was facing riddles requiring resolution. What he needed to learn was the same thing that all Christians need to learn and understand about their "Life." Simply put, it is what Christ meant when He said He was the Way, the Truth, and the "LIFE." An understanding of what Christ meant is the key to the solution of the majority of the riddles that we experience in our day-to-day journey here. Riddles Requiring Resolution was written in an effort to leave a legacy of riddle solutions for others. It is McCoy's hope that through reading this book that you will gain an expanded understanding as to how much God has shown love for you by gifting you with all of "Life." In addition, an expanded comprehension of God's love for you will be your motivation to honor God in your daily walk and to endure the troubles that occur in your life in a God-honoring manner. keywords: Christian Counseling, Riddles Requiring Resolution, Christian Life, Riddles, Christian Self Help, Self Help For Christians, Christians Looking For Answers, Claude McCoy, Life Riddles

Book Synopsis He's God and We're Not: The Seven Laws of the Spiritual Life by : Ray Pritchard
Download or read book He's God and We're Not: The Seven Laws of the Spiritual Life written by Ray Pritchard and published by Primedia E-launch LLC. This book was released on with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several years ago Pastor Ray Pritchard set out on a journey. The destination of his journey was to discover the basic laws of the Christian’s life. Not surprisingly, his journey began and ended in the same place—God. Romans 11:36 poetically proclaims "for from Him and through Him and to Him are all things." All spirituality flows from a correct perspective of God, and all heresy begins with a misunderstanding of God. From this beginning, Pastor Ray compiled the Seven Laws of the Spiritual Life. These laws are the basic truths that every believer needs to know in order to have a healthy relationship with God.

Book Synopsis Comparison of Religious Problem-solving Styles on the Use of Problem-focused and Maladaptive Emotion-focused Coping Related to Financial Strain and Stress by : Kirk A. Vander Molen
Download or read book Comparison of Religious Problem-solving Styles on the Use of Problem-focused and Maladaptive Emotion-focused Coping Related to Financial Strain and Stress written by Kirk A. Vander Molen and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poverty negatively impacts individuals and society as a whole in various ways, including emotional and physical health, relationships, education, crime, stress, and the economy (Adler & Ostrove, 1999; Anakwenze & Zuberi, 2013; Caplan & Schooler, 2007; Yoshikawa, Aber, & Beardslee, 2012). How people cope with the stress of poverty and engage with its causes and potential solutions impacts their capacity to survive, manage, and work toward improving their situation (Caplan & Schooler, 2007; Cohen & Wills, 1985; Santiago, Etter, Wadsworth, & Raviv, 2012). Problem-focused coping involves a person's engagement to make plans, mobilize resources, and take action to manage or alter the problem (Folkman & Lazarus, 1985). Emotion-focused coping is directed at the regulation of emotional responses to circumstances (Folkman & Lazarus, 1985) and can be negative or positive. Negative (or maladaptive) emotion-focused coping responds to situations in maladaptive ways, such as self-blame, behavior disengagement, and denial of circumstances. Religious belief and practice has been identified as influential on the coping process of people experiencing stressful life events (Harrison, 2001) and as a contributing factor in the use of emotion-focused and problem-focused coping (Caplan & Schooler, 2003, 2007; Cohen & Wills, 1985; Raikes & Thompson, 2005; Thoits, 1995). This dissertation explores the relationship between a person's Religious Problem Solving Style (RPSS) and self-efficacy with the use and interaction of problem-focused and maladaptive emotion-focused coping on financial strain and stress. The RPSS scale measures religious coping related to problem-solving on two dimensions of a person's perspective of God: (1) locus of responsibility for the problem-solving process, and (2) level of divine involvement in the problem-solving process. The three RPSS styles are Self-directing, Collaborative, and Deferring. This is a cross-sectional study involving participants in a faith-based poverty alleviation class and mentoring program. The sample (N = 43) was recruited from two affiliates of Love In the Name of Christ (Love INC), one from Michigan and the other from Idaho. The survey was a paper-and-pencil instrument containing a total of 39 questions. Variables of the study were financial strain, financial stress, religious problem-solving styles, self-efficacy, problem-focused coping, and maladaptive emotion-focused coping. Of the three RPSS styles, only Collaborative RPSS had a statistically significant correlation with self-efficacy (.32, p

Book Synopsis The Neuroscience of Spiritual Transformation by : Ephraim T. Gwebu
Download or read book The Neuroscience of Spiritual Transformation written by Ephraim T. Gwebu and published by Ephraim T. Gwebu. This book was released on with total page 1 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of us Christians suffer from the guilt of knowing that we are not following all that the LORD Jesus Christ has commanded. He says, “Do unto others as you would like them to do unto you.” (Matthew 7:12, KJV) Do we, as Christians, treat others the way that we would like to be treated? Also, the LORD has commanded us: “Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord.” (Leviticus 19:18, NIV) To what extent do Christians worldwide follow this command? We know the command but do not follow it. Thus, we are in a continuous struggle with ourselves, which results in the absence of love, joy, and peace. The average Christian lives a life of contradictions in that they know the right thing to do but does not do it. God created a malleable our brains with a that can be molded like a potter’s clay. This book describes in simple terms how the malleable brain is capable of being transformed to please God based on principles of neuroscience ( a study of the brain). The book shows that when the Christian focus is on Jesus Christ alone, spiritual transformation is inevitable. The book illustrates how the average Christian can focus on Jesus exclusively, using the Holy Spirit inspired power of brain malleability. It describes how when our minds are focused on Christ with intentions to please Him, the brain changes its networks producing God-pleasing Christians. The book shows how the brain networks may be a conduit by which the Holy Spirit facilitates repentance, sanctification, and spiritual transformation. In this book, an effort is made to illustrate how we can (i) be reshaped like the potter’s clay in the hands of Jesus, (ii) abide in Christ, (iii) have the mind of Christ, (iv) be transformed by the renewing of our minds, (v) be perfect as our Father is perfect, and (iv) have perfect peace through the amazing process of neuroplasticity that was implanted by the LORD Jesus in Genesis 1:26, 27. Based on discoveries in neuroscience, we now have a better idea of how the LORD Jesus Christ designed our brains to make it possible for us to choose to follow Him and for the Holy Spirit to superintend the structural and functional changes in the brain, supplanting old evil tendencies with desires to serve Him. The author ventures to define Sanctification as a process of becoming Christ-like every day through taking Holy Spirit-inspired micro-steps in Godliness facilitated by the Holy Spirit. These small steps include (a) Christ-centered self-talk (chapter 10), (b) acts of kindness and attunement (chapter 12), (c) mindfulness (chapter 7), (d) growth mindset (chapter 6), mindsight (chapter 8), (e) visualization of the glory of God (chapter 9) seen by Isaiah (Isa. 6:5) and Ezekiel (Eze1:1) and (f) creation of a Christ-centered brain environment orchestrated by the Holy Spirit. It is proposed that these micro steps facilitate the production of Christ-centered brain networks as the life-time of sanctification. This life-time activity that must be exercised regularly like a muscle for it to maintain its strength and dominance over the power of sin. The book proposes that the cumulative effect is a desire and determination to glorify and honor the LORD Jesus Christ is our daily walk with Him as guided by the Holy Spirit. The LORD calls upon Christians to be kind. The book describes the neuroscience of acts of kindness. An act of kindness causes the brain to produce a chemical that makes the kind person feel happy, warm, and fuzzy inside. Kindness brings happiness, thus contributing to one’s well-being. The book describes the neuroscience of humility and leadership. Commenting on the book, a theologian said that “it dovetails with different branches of theology. For those in Biblical theology, this book provides new avenues of reflecting on biblical passages. This is a book that provokes a Systematic theologian to reflect on topics like repentance, justification, sanctification, and sin. For those in Applied Theology, this book presents insights that can revolutionize our homiletics, counselling, church administration, and mission. It is not just another book on the shelf, this is the book that has been missing. The utility of this book is not limited to the seminary. This is the right tool for any parent who needs to understand the dynamics of behaviour formation among children. For those planning to conduct seminars on behaviour, this is a valuable resource.”

Download or read book In God's Own Image written by Simon Peter Kyambadde and published by . This book was released on 2005-07-27 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integrating modern psychological insights with Christian biblical teaching, In God's Own Image is a useful tool to the individual or group seeking personal growth, as well as to a counsellor, spiritual director or growth facilitator assisting others in that all important journey of human growth. it proceeds in three main steps: first portraying the ideal of the personality as God meant it to be, then the reality of what we are that includes goodness and deformation, and finally exmining how we can reclaim the ideal, both for ourselves and for those we assist; whether individually or as groups. The material is arranged under three parts. Part I describes the ideal: What god meant us to be. Part II describes the reality: what we actually are with both our original beauty and our fallen nature. Part III describes what we can become, how we can move towards our original beauty. A fundamental attitude to have in the arduous struggle of human growth - whether this concerns one's own growth or one's duty in assisting the growth of others - involves three convictions: 1) Change is difficult. A realistic appraisal of this fact doe not lead to discouragement. On the contrary it leads to perseverance, to patience, endurance, courage, and acceptance of occasional failure - all factors that accompany genuine growth. It helps us avoid the pitfall of looking for quick tangible results. 2) Change is important. In fact conversion and growth are not just important, they are fundamental to a life worth living. Striving towards our ideal self is the most important thing in our lives. For that reason it is worth spending on it every ounce of strength in us. When we are convinced of this then we are motivated to work for it. 3) Change is Possible. It is possible to improve, to be converted and to grow. When we have struggled to overcome one difficulty or another for years without visible success, we may get into the belief that it is hopeless to think of the possibility of overcoming the diffficulties. But the good news about each one of us is that however much the beautiful image of God in us has been tarnished and disfigured, we have the possibility to have it restored to its original beauty.

Book Synopsis Handbook of Religion and Health by : Harold G. Koenig
Download or read book Handbook of Religion and Health written by Harold G. Koenig and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-05-12 with total page 1113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The 2001 edition (1st) was a comprehensive review of history, research, and discussions on religion and health through the year 2000. The Appendix listed 1,200 separate quantitative studies on religion and health each rated in quality on 0-10 scale, followed by about 2,000 references and an extensive index for rapid topic identification. The 2012 edition (2nd) of the Handbook systematically updated the research from 2000 to 2010, with the number of quantitative studies then reaching the thousands. This 2022 edition (3rd) is the most scientifically rigorous addition to date, covering the best research published through 2021 with an emphasis on prospective studies and randomized controlled trials. Beginning with a Foreword by Dr. Howard K. Koh, former US Assistant Secretary for Health for the Department of Health and Human Services, this nearly 600,000-word volume examines almost every aspect of health, reviewing past and more recent research on the relationship between religion and health outcomes. Furthermore, nearly all of its 34 chapters conclude with clinical and community applications making this text relevant to both health care professionals (physicians, nurses, social workers, rehabilitation therapists, counsellors, psychologists, sociologists, etc.) and clergy (community clergy, chaplains, pastoral counsellors, etc.). The book's extensive Appendix focuses on the best studies, describing each study in a single line, allowing researchers to quickly locate the existing research. It should not be surprising that for Handbook for the past two decades has been the most cited of all references on religion and health"--
