 Interested in what is on our bookshelves at Grace Counseling Associates? We have a lot of great books around the office and always sharing and discussing resources with one another, especially those we feel might be helpful to clients in their journey. We thought sharing our picks can also offer an opportunity for you to get to know us as clinicians.
There are many great providers in Knoxville and surrounding areas to choose from and it is common to wonder, "Will they get me?" or "Will they be a good fit for me?" Our hope is that sharing our top picks can offer a small window into our style and interests as you consider choosing a provider for yourself or your loved one. Jordan is kicking us off with his current top five! Steps: A Guide to Transforming Your Life When Willpower Isn't Enough by Jon Ortberg We are all addicts to something, and willpower alone will not free us from our addictions. This book is a Jesus-centered journey through the 12 steps of AA. Abba’s Child: The Cry of the Heart for Intimate Belonging by Brennan Manning This book is about learning to be loved and the things that stand in the way of our belovedness, namely our imposter- the part of us that appears as we “should” be or are expected to be rather than how we truly are. In order to be fully loved, we must allow our whole selves to be known (the glorious and the grotesque) and accepted. Experience Jesus. Really: Finding Refuge, Strength, and Wonder through Everyday Encounters with God by John Eldredge Following Jesus was meant to be relational at its core. This book explores how to genuinely engage in relationship with God. Religion is empty, but there is abundant life in relationship with Jesus through the indwelling Holy Spirit. Wild at Heart: Discovering the Secret of a Man's Soul by John Eldredge This book is for men. Our masculine heart was created in the image of God with three core desires: a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue. The world, the flesh, and the devil are siphoning away the hearts of men, and this book is meant to remind you of what you were made for. Live No Lies: Recognize and Resist the Three Enemies That Sabotage Your Peace by John Mark Comer This book speaks to the forces that seek to steal our peace and, ultimately, our hearts: the world, the flesh, and the devil. The context and setting of our individual and collective story is war, namely spiritual war. To the science-based mind of Westerns this is unpopular, but unless we have an accurate Biblical understanding of the war raging in and around us, we will likely misinterpret and/or mishandle our lives.
