From the physical basis to counseling modalities, this is the obvious textbook of choice for schools desiring to teach psychology from a Christian viewpoint. This is great for upper division high school or a general course for college students.
—Online Review
This book is laid out well and covers the topics of Psychology beautifully. It thoroughly integrates the Christian philosophy in what has been thus far considered a non-Christian topic. This book gives my students a well rounded approach to the subject of Psychology using the Bible and Neurophysiology as its base.
