Grace And Divorce: God's Healing Gift To Those Whose Marriages Fall Short

Grace and Divorce, written by noted author and psychotherapist, Dr. Les Carter, provides sound theological thinking on divorce and wise and compassionate suggestions for reframing and deepening our understanding of this difficult and controversial topic. Using stories from his practice as a therapist, Dr. Carter offers healing to both those who divorce and those who know and love them. He explains that Jesus never intended us to be so fixed about right and wrong and so judgmental that we lose the ability to love those who do not meet His perfect standards. With kindness and love, he shows that the wonderful gift of God’s grace is the best way to respond to people facing this trying life challenge.

Religion & Spirituality

Everyone knows someone whose anger can get out of hand. Maybe that person greets you in the mirror every morning. Or perhaps you know someone who is harming themselves by repressing their pent-up anger. Anger should be felt and expressed, but it can be destructive if not handled properly. Here is a realistic, responsible guide to what anger is and why it gets out of hand. Discussing anger from a biblical perspective, Christian psychologist Dr. Les Carter will help you: identify anger in your life, self-test to determine your level of anger, realize what can make anger an enemy, understand the ways anger is expressed, map out a realistic strategy for handling anger, learn how to express constructive anger, find out what anger is, get it under control and argue fairly. "By understanding anger," Dr. Carter writes, "you can free yourself to live a life of caring and concern."

Review\nReflecting the Character of Christ: His Kindness, His Confidence, His Grace blends the gospel stories with psychological knowledge to show how meditating on Jesus' character traits can help anyone become a better, more whole person. Dr. Les Carter shows how Christ can be the pattern for personal growth and wholeness. He explores many of the dominant personality traits found in the life of Christ (empathy, respect , confidence, truth, grace, humility) and explains how that quality can be incorporated into readers' lifestyles. Each chapter describes a scene where Jesus interacts with others, giving insight into how readers can become like Him in their day-to-day relationships. -- Midwest Book Review

There's no doubt about it. As long as we live on this side of heaven we will face conflict, and be susceptible to anger, broken relationships, rejection, and manipulation. Perhaps there have been times you've felt stuck in bitterness, discouragement or cynicism. Maybe you've asked "How can I forgive when I hurt as badly as I do?"or you've had moments when you thought you'd truly forgiven, only to have anger return. You may have been taught that anger is bad, that Christians can't be angry or that nothing good ever results from anger. From the authors who brought you the bestseller The Anger Workbook, Dr. Les Carter and Frank Minirth of The Minirth Clinic use the same tried and true methods to help you truly forgive those who've wronged you. This workbook will teach you how to increase your ability to forgive by:<ul>

The Anger Trap: Free Yourself from the Frustrations that Sabotage Your Life

It's easy to identify rage in people who lose their temper at traffic jams, unruly children, unresponsive coworkers, and unrealistic bosses. But we may not recognize more subtle manifestations of anger, such as being uncomfortable with loose ends, acting impatiently, or being overly critical. That is anger, too. And, as is so often the case, angry folks don't seem to realize that the behavior causing them problems at home or at work actually stems from unrecognized and unresolved pain and emotional injuries from the past. Is all this negative emotion inevitable, or are there choices about how to respond, choices that can improve personal relationships as well as emotional health? 
The Anger Trap is a landmark book that strips away the myths and misconceptions about anger and reveals how you can learn to distinguish between healthy and unhealthy anger so that you may choose—or help someone else to choose—a better, more spiritually enlightened path. The Anger Trap examines the root causes of anger and can help you realize your patterns and break the destructive cycles of criticism, frustration, and irritation that hurt you and others around you. Drawing insight from timeless spiritual wisdom as well as cutting-edge research, Dr. Carter offers practical techniques to free you from anger, its hidden insecurities, fears, and selfishness and thereby improve the quality of your home and workplace life. The book clearly illustrates how the change process works and The Anger Trap is filled with real-life examples of the ways people have come to terms with their anger by applying the concepts Dr. Carter outlines.
