The Guilt Book (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | Will van der Hart | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Many people are paralysed with guilt. Guilt robs you of freedom, peace and joy. It makes you think you are the problem. Spiritual solutions don't always work, and neither does pretending everything is OK or trying harder.
Jesus Christ, God's perfect Son, died on the cross to pay the price for all our wrongdoing. His forgiveness is the solution to our true guilt: the guilt we experience because of our sins.

The Guilt Book combines strong theology and psychology, offering a fresh perspective and helping us differentiate between our true guilt, for which forgiveness is needed, and false guilt, for which a psychological approach can work well.

Together, we will challenge the cycles of repression and despair. We will deal practically with the brief spikes and enduring stains of guilt. Freedom from guilt is a battle worth fighting, for a life worth living.

Recommendations:

"Will van der Hart and Rob Waller have forged a formidable alliance between pastor and psychiatrist to author an original and mind-changing book. Anchored in the teaching of Bible, and faithfully shaped by it, The Guilt Book integrates wide-ranging insights from modern psychology as well as the authors' extensive clinical and pastoral experience. Distinguishing between true guilt and the many disguises of false guilt, they succeed in making the complex simple, whilst never being simplistic. Their counsel is biblical, intellectually rigorous and intensely practical. Read this book quickly. And then read it again, slowly and reflectively.You will be challenged, provoked, and quite possibly liberated by its wise counsel. " - Glynn Harrison, Emeritus Professor of Psychiatry, University of Bristol and author of The Big Ego Trip

"As I read this book I can feel the hold of some of my false guilt beginning to dissolve. It begins to dissolve in the warmth of this book's compassion, and in the light of its truth, both biblical and psychological. I could feel new health growing in my mind. This is a map to a better place, a place of inner freedom." - Shaun Lambert, Senior Minister of Stanmore Baptist Church and the author of 'A Book of Sparks - A Study in Christian MindFullness'.

"A wonderfully rich resource for anyone wanting practical help with guilt issues. Waller and van der Hart chart a wise course between unbalanced extremes. They integrate the best of professional psychological wisdom with the classic, orthodox Christian theology. Some hard truths and a timely message to the Church." - Dr Crispin Fletcher-Louie , theologian and previously principle of Westminster Theological Centre.

'Guilt gets you stuck in life... I know. When you get stuck you need help. This book will help. It has the capacity to free you to live life in all its fullness. Some books are highly readable but not much use. Other books are really useful but dull as dishwater. Rob and Will have written a book you will want to read, and which will help you become the person you want to be.' - Revd Karl Martin, Senior Pastor, Central, Edinburgh

"Guilt is something I have always been weighed down by, and I know so many friends who have the same battle, reliving situation after situation in our heads. This book looks both theologically and practically at helping me see where my thinking has gone wonky and helping me to realise it doesn't have to be that way. Can't really recommend it highly enough! I shall be returning to it over and over." - Katherine Welby

"Here's a great resource which is well based in the Bible and contemporary counselling practice and yet is practical, manageable, and provides a step-by-step guide towards being set free from guilt, as Christ intends." - Derek Tidball, Former Principal of London School of Theology
