Review Quotes: "Each chapter provides an easy-to-understand approach on implementing CBT-based tools. . . . It is amazing to have access to a book that not only implements faith-based principles but also uses CBT tools modified for the Christian client" --Tamara Hill, MS, LPC, PsychCentral
"For Christian therapists, the question of how psychotherapy and religion can be used in tandem may often arise. There is great debate regarding whether religion belongs in psychotherapy, but the solution may not be as difficult to reach as people think. Dr. Michelle Pearce brings a practical, theological, and well-researched approach to this new guide. CBT and Christianity are not incompatible and, in fact, can work together beneficially and effectively. This is an excellent guide to a Christian CBT approach." --American Association of Christian Counselors "Dr. Pearce offers a resource for all chaplains who wish to increase their skill development and to move toward evidence-based spiritual care of depressed persons." --Roy F. Olson, DMin, BCC, Association of Professional Chaplains
