Positive Discipline, Parenting, and Spirituality
Journeys of Faith:
Religion, Spirituality & Humanistic Psychology
Journeys of Faith: Religion, Spirituality, and Humanistic Psychology is about the intersection of a now hallowed approach to psychotherapy, today referred to as humanistic, or person-centered, counseling, and the broad religious/spiritual world that its first practitioners found themselves engaging, often much to their surprise. What is humanistic psychology? Where did it come from? How did it replace the two storied therapies-Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalysis and B. F. Skinner’s behaviorism-that had previously dominated counseling? And why and how did the practitioners of humanistic psychology find themselves engaging spiritual and religious questions, which hitherto had been understood by most psychologists as foreign to their field of interest? These are the questions Journeys of Faith: Religion, Spirituality, and Humanistic Psychology addresses.
Be Still and Know that I Am God:
Reflections on God, Connection, and the Gift of Presence
“Be still and know that I am God.” For centuries, this beloved verse from Psalms (46:10) has been a source of peace for those who seek a closer connection with God. A timeless reminder that God is ever present, it offers the simplest prescription for connection with the divine: Still yourself, quiet yourself, center yourself…and God will appear. Today, as we experience the demands of an increasingly hectic and all-consuming world distracting us from our connection to the divine, the reminder that God’s presence is as close as our willingness to still ourselves is more welcome than ever.
Parenting through the School Years… and Beyond!
