The Bible Speaks On Mental Health and Personal Growth Issues

Helps For Hurting Christians And Christian Counselors

Beschreibung

"Why am I so anxious? Why do I feel depressed? Why do I feel like a failure and a reject and sometimes wonder how even God could love me?" The answer to these questions and many more are addressed in this book. Christians are people too. Many Christians struggle with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, family conflicts, etc. Christian and secular self-help books abound. The Bible is incredibly rich in resources that address these issues. This book is based on the author's experience in over forty-four years of professional counseling and an intensive study of the Bible as it addresses mental health and emotional issues as well as personal growth concerns. It is addressed to both the individual needs of the reader and as an assist to Christian counselors in helping their patients. The material in this book has been used as handouts to the author's patients with very positive feedback.

Autor

Mr. Welch was born in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains in far western North Carolina. Until age 4, he lived in a log house built by his father and grandfather. His family was forced to move when the TVA built Fontana Dam. This property is now part of the great Smoky Mountains National Park. His father died when he was five years old. His mother taught school in one-room schoolhouses with eight grades in one room, and they lived in homes with no electricity or running water. Mr. Welch attended classes taught by his mother in these schools. After high school and a four-year stint in the US Air Force, he began college, having married while in the USAF. Ten years later, when he graduated, he had four children. He then required five more years to complete a master's degree. During these years as he pursued his studies, he was, at various times, a pastor, an insurance salesman, a roughneck, an apprentice machinist, a carpenter's helper, a painter, etc. For ten more years, he pursued a doctorate while working as a psychotherapist at the state hospital and the Texas prison system and driving 130 miles each way to class. The doctorate was never completed. Instead, he moved to Houston to work in Christ-centered acute care psychiatric units. He and his bride have now been married sixty-one years, and he has forty-four years of experience in the mental health field. He continues counseling half time with a psychologist friend in Tyler, Texas. Mr. Welch considers himself to be more effective as a counselor because he did not just go to school and start counseling but has completed four years of military service and worked at many of the jobs where his patients work.
