This book is the first in a series on REBT and Christian growth. This particular volume sets forth a simple but effective model for helping many Christians overcome obstacles to spiritual growth. It is appropriate for secular counselors who treat Christian clients, Christian counselors, clergy, and lay leaders who offer spiritual support and care for fellow believers. Individual Christians may also find it helpful for their own spiritual growth. The book is not just theoretical, but offers simple, straightforward, but effective steps for spiritual growth. It helps individuals use traditional Christian resources, such as prayer, scripture, fasting, and a Christian form of meditation informed by a powerful counseling model that is evidence-based and has thousands of studies demonstrating its effectiveness for a wide array of life problems. For a counseling model to be useful for Christians, it must be thoroughly consistent with scripture and be proven to work in one's actual spiritual life, not just in a research setting. We trust that this model passes both these tests. [This book combined with another book entitled, Dynamic Prayer to Heal Your Deeply Painful Emotions and Reach Your Spiritual Goals, is available in print version under the title, Counseling Christians for Mental, Emotional, Behavioral, and Spiritual Health.]
