The Missing Ingredient;
The Spiritual Dimension in Counseling,
From the author of Renewing the Family Spirit and The Power of WE
Ludwig (Book, CPH) This book is a rich practical resource for Christian counselors and professional church workers. It provides a working model of the spiritual dimension of human life. Psychology has given excellent insight into the observable aspects of the human psyche. However, true insight into the psychological problems of our age comes only from understanding how the influence of the Holy Spirit bears fruit in the attitudes and behavior of Christians. $19.95 (plus $5 Shipping and Handling)
