I was surprised, and you may be too, that the Bible contains prescriptive treatment plans for anxiety, damaged self-esteem, depression, anger, marital difficulties, sexual problems, family problems, parenting issues, relational conflicts, as well as pathological gambling, over spending, over eating, alcohol/drug dependence, and other life dominating problems.

Biblical precepts, if precisely followed, provided hope and the power to dramatically and effectively change our emotional, cognitive, behavioral, and relational health.

This manual is written for individuals suffering from depression, anxiety, damaged self-esteem, anger, marital, family and life dominating problems such as pathological gambling, over spending, over eating, and alchol/drug dependence.

Why do we look for answers to these problems everywhere, including sociology, psychology, medicine, literature, our friends, our experiences, fortune tellers, and the most current professional therapeutic treatment fads, but ignore the wisdom of the Bible?

The Real Cost of Divorce


Over the past six months I have dealt with the following as a marital/family therapist: A 10-year-old child begging to come to therapy because his parents were separating. A12-year-old girl who engaged in self-mutilation, taking a razor blade and slashing her arms and legs. A teenager who had enuresis (urinating on herself) in the classroom at school. An eight-year-old boy having asthma attacks. A junior in high school, going from being an A-B student to a D-F student, losing his scholarship for college. A 13-year-old girl discovering on Facebook that her mother was having an extramarital affair. Several children having physical altercations with classmates. Numerous children experiencing increased anxiety, panic, night terrors, depressed mood, crying spells, anger/rage, withdrawal, isolation, shutting down, guilt, self blame, angry outbursts, defiance, rebelliousness, stomach aches, fear of dying, racing thoughts with inattention at school and preoccupation with what's going on at home, agitation, children witnessing their parents fighting, and children begging their parents to stay together.

Sadly, I also see a number of adults who have symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder and unresolved issues of damaged self-esteem from experiencing childhood divorce. Unfortunately many of the situations listed above were Christian couples. Malachi 2:16 "For I hate divorce" says the Lord.
