WHEATON DAY PROGRAMS RE-ACCREDITED

HAVE YOU READ. . .

 

FINDING PURPOSE IN PAIN    At one time or another everyone finds themselves questioning, "Does God still love me? Is there a purpose for all this pain?" Drs. Meier and Henderson teach readers how to face painful struggles head-on in a way that allows them to grow and mature emotionally and spiritually.

In this timely book, they explore the seven most common life challenges: Injustice, Rejection, Loneliness, Loss, Discipline, Failure, and Death.  In addition, they offer the three reasons we often miss the gifts these challenges can be. This unique approach to an age-old problem will encourage and challenge readers to grow through their struggles instead of wasting energy trying to avoid them altogether.

This book is being released in November as a hard cover book and audiobook through Thomas Nelson, publisher.

 

YOU MIGHT BE A NARCISSIST IF. . .   The term narcissism is used frequently, but the word is often misused and misunderstood.  Dr. Meier, in collaboration with two psychotherapists, has written this book to help readers understand the true meaning of narcissism and what can be done about it.  It is currently available as an e-book and will be available in paperback in June 2009.  For more information, please visit Dr. Meier's webpage on our website.
