There is great satisfaction when we see purpose in our circumstances. It is easy to find our purpose when things are going well and life is skipping along nicely, but what happens when we have a tough situation to go through? Is there purpose in the hard times? Unfortunately too many of us see difficult circumstances as something to get away from, or find a way to change, and never embrace the purpose for our challenges that God has in mind. All of your circumstances have a purpose. In Mastering Your Seasons, author Lisa Schwarz guides you through the seasons of life and uses biblical teaching to strengthen your resolve that not only can you get through a difficult circumstance, but you can master it for God's glory.

The Comprehensive Resource Model (Explorations in Mental Health)

Traditional methods employed in psychotherapy have limited effectiveness when it comes to healing the psychological effects of trauma, in particular, complex trauma. While a client may seem to make significant breakthroughs in understanding their feelings and experiences on a rational level by talking with a therapist, this will make no difference to their post-traumatic symptoms if the midbrain is unable to modulate its activity in response. The Comprehensive Resource Model argues for a novel therapeutic approach, which uniquely bridges neuroscience and spirituality through a combination of somatic therapy, traditional psychotherapy, and indigenous healing concepts to provide effective relief to survivors of trauma. The Comprehensive Resource Model was developed in response to the need for a streamlined, integrative therapeutic model; one which engages a scaffolding of neurobiological resources in many brain structures simultaneously in order for clients to be fully embodied and conscious in the present moment while processing their traumatic material. All three phases of trauma therapy: resourcing, processing, and integration are done simultaneously. Demonstrating a nested model and employing brain and body-based physiological safety as the foundation of healing, chapters describe three primary categories of targeted processing: implicit and explicit survival terror, ‘Little T Truths’, and ‘Big T Truths’, all of which contribute to thorough healing of complex trauma and an expansion into higher states of consciousness and embodiment of the essential core self. This book describes the development and benefits of this pioneering new approach to trauma therapy. As such, it will be of key interest to academics, researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of psychiatry, psychotherapy, psychology and trauma studies. It will also appeal to practising therapists, psychiatrists, psychologists, psychiatric nurses, and to others involved in the treatment or management of patients with complex trauma disorders.

Come and See: The Jesus Approach to Equipping Biblical Disciples. 
Your impact in God’s kingdom is reflected by the fruit of your faithfulness in multiplying disciples. Jesus came to share the good news of salvation, demonstrate how to teach others, and empower believers to go out to all the nations and make disciples. That wasn’t an optional suggestion. It was an incredible call to evangelical action.\nBeing a disciple of Jesus is a profound commitment, and discipling others is even more intense. One of the greatest challenges facing modern Christians is how to imitate Christ and turn knowledge into wisdom as we walk alongside the people God has placed in our lives.\nOur busy schedules can threaten to derail our calling. In Come and See, bestselling author Lisa Schwarz approaches the command of making disciples from a practical and scriptural approach. Real life application is shared based on her own personal testimony of a transformational relationship established through covenant discipleship. She also shares how the Jesus approach to discipleship became her model for Crazy8 Ministries, a long-term restorative housing program. 
God is calling you to minister to others through discipleship. Following the Jesus approach to equipping biblical disciples will maximize your kingdom-minded efforts for leading people into an extraordinary life with God. Come and See is for you!
