The Heart of the Gospel

An age-old approach has quietly been addressing the issues confronting the human condition. An approach that in our science-driven world we have almost forgotten, the heart of the Gospel message. It can no longer be ignored. Our mental and emotional health and well being are being constantly challenged and even under threat, accelerated by the rapid changes to our daily lives brought on by the recent 2020 global pandemic. Times are uncertain. The future is no longer as clear. Therapy has gained rapid traction, promoted as the best evidence-based alternative to medication for addressing the increasing mood and anxiety disorders we are experiencing. While therapeutic approaches have merits in helping to modify or adapt our ways of thinking and behaving, therapy alone cannot fully address the root issues that affect us all. The purpose of this book is two-fold. The first is to explain why therapeutic approaches tend to fall short of effecting lasting change. The second is an attempt to share fresh insights into why the Gospel message is more relevant to us today, the only true therapy for the human soul.
