Why do so many struggle to pray Dr Pablo Martinez, a medical doctor and psychotherapist, suggests that our basic personality type strongly affects how we pray, and what we pray about. Extroverts may struggle to develop a regular prayer life; introverts will be more likely to set time apart. Thinking types find prayer more satisfactory if accompanied by pen and paper; feeling types may long for intimacy with God; intuitive types tend to be innovators and visionaries, and may have a more mystical bent; sensation types often have a particular capacity for spontaneous prayer; and so on. The purpose of this book is to help us understand, and work with, our own spiritual path.

In early 2020, a highly contagious virus made its way around the world. In a matter of days the things that many people relied on for security were shown to be flimsy sources of hope. Authors from three of the worst-affected countries in Europe have united in this book to reflect on the only comfort we have in life and death - Jesus Christ. Each taking a different aspect of what this hope looks like, they answer the question, what can we believe and hope for in times like this?

"They made me take care of the vineyards, but my own vineyard I neglected." (Song of Songs 1:6b)
Paul urged Timothy to learn this vital principle when he was still young. It contains one of the keys in Christian work: If someone in ministry is not all right, the quality of their ministry will be affected. In Christian ministries, it is easy to find workers who never think of themselves. While selflessness is a Christlike trait, at times we can push ourselves too far, leading to the paradigm of stressed and burned-out people. In order to love God and serve others, we often need to be still, take a rest, and be refreshed. This book will help Christians find the balance between ministry and "monastery," between the urgent work of service and the place of rest and restoration.
Caring for our own "vineyard"--the talents, gifts, and emotional resources of our personality--is not only a privilege but a duty. It is part of good stewardship, an act of obedience as disciples of Christ. Far from being a sign of a more spiritual attitude, neglecting our own needs can be a serious mistake and even a sin.

"Mad, bad or God?" is the question posed by C. S. Lewis about Jesus Christ. Imagine someone with a mind so healthy that he doesn't need to see a psychiatrist. Ever. Yet that person runs the gauntlet of taunting, mockery, and false accusations. People turn against him. Friends disown and desert him. He stands alone. Amazingly, two thousand years after his death, the taunts still fly. Films and books appear with fresh accusations and oh-so-convincing arguments. Jesus had greater influence than any other person who ever lived. Yet atheistic detractors often portray him as insane or deranged. Is there any basis for such claims? As psychiatrists, Pablo Martinez and Andrew Sims felt the need to speak up. They invite you to shadow them as they examine what they believe to be the most fascinating mind in all of history. They consider Jesus's words, actions, and teaching, and use fascinating insights from psychiatry to make an assessment. The authors enable us to articulate a strong defense of Jesus's mental health. They help us dispel doubts, affirm our faith, and present a captivating portrait of Jesus.

Useful as a resource for both individual and corporate Christian life, Prayer Life will help Christians develop healthy and wholesome spiritual lifestyles. Above all, it will 'encourage prayer without guilt', as we are challenged to persist and persevere in our lives as children of God. Pablo Martinez combines his skill as a psychiatrist and pastor to show how the course and content of prayer is affected by individual temperament and personality. Prayer Life is based on the classification of four main psychological types, as we are encouraged to identify and accept ourselves within the rich diversity of God's family. Our temperament is a genetic endowment that remains part of us, despite the empowering of the Holy Spirit that changes and conforms us into the likeness of Christ. Trained as a medical doctor and psychiatrist, Pablo Martinez works at a Christian hospital in Barcelona. He has also developed a wide ministry as a lecturer and counsellor. He is a member of the Executive Committee of the International Christian Medical Association (ICMA), and has been a speaker at Spring Harvest. Key Features - Deals with the most frequently asked questions on prayer. - Contains a foreword by Rev Dr. John Stott. - Avoids technical jargon and detail. Key Benefits - Emphasises the great therapeutic value of prayer. - Defends the uniqueness of Christian prayer within a post-modern society. - Helps Christians develop a balanced prayer life.

Tracing the Rainbow looks at bereavement through the eyes of a psychiatrist - and through the eyes of those who have mourned themselves.   A mixture of information, interviews and practical advice, it seeks to answer the questions: What is grieving? How does it affect people physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually? How can those who mourn help themselves? How can those around them help them? What is normal grief? When does grief become abnormal and in what way? How do childhood experiences influence our ability to grieve, and what can we do about it?  Pablo Martinez and Ali Hull concentrate on the two greatest losses that face us: death and divorce, and seek, through a mixture of intensely personal stories and gentle psychiatric insight, to provide tools for getting through the hardest times in life.
