An Integrative Paradigm
Christian Association for Psychological Studies Books
by Mark R. McMinn

paperbackHoly Is the Day
Living in the Gift of the Present
by Carolyn Weber
Life pulls us in many directions, sometimes even to the point of pulling our souls apart. We know rest and reflection are necessary for a healthy life—even Jesus took time to get away from the crowds, away from the demands of everyday life, to pray, to spend time with close friends, to sleep.
