It's Okay to Have Needs of Your Own
You fell in love with him. But over time you've come to realize he's in love with himself--and you feel trapped. His needs, his problems, and his plans always seem to take precedence over yours.
Dr. David Hawkins, director of the Marriage Recovery Center, offers a guide to help you identify signs of narcissism, understand how your loved one's issues are affecting you, and prepare a biblical game plan for freeing yourself to live courageously in light of God's love. Whether the man in your life can be diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), exhibits narcissistic traits and emotionally abusive behavior, or has arrogant and self-centered tendencies, the emotional pain he causes you is very real. Discover the truths, wisdom, and grace you need to spark change in your relationship, set boundaries, and experience healing.
This book teaches how to distinguish between healthy relationships and codependency ?to become the person God meant you to be. Christians are called to be servants, caring for the needs of other people. But when these caregivers begin to forfeit their own God-given calling and identity in an unhealthy desire to please others, they move from servanthood to codependency. How can they get back on track? Readers will resonate with the real-life illustrations of people who no longer know what they think, want, or feel because they have unwittingly allowed voices of other people to drown out the voice of God. Suggestions for redirecting unhealthy relationships will empower readers to rediscover their own value and personal contribution. Applications to the home, to work settings, and to the church will help them become more effective servants of God. Available in English from Harvest House Publishers.
Like life itself, marriage has moments of joy...and sorrow. As difficult as marriage can be, many who have said I do try to stick it out when problems arise because the alternative--being alone--is not very appealing. If the couple truly wants to save their marriage, they usually turn to counseling.
Unfortunately, most marriage counseling ends with the couple dropping out and then, more often than not, ending their relationship. In some cases, the problem is not the couple but their choice of counselor. One who is poorly trained, disinterested, or obviously biased can destroy a marriage.
Why Marriage Counseling Fails explores different scenarios that cause problems for couples as well as the different types of counselors who can help or harm a marriage. Dr. David B. Hawkins has more than forty-five years of experience as a marriage counselor and has helped thousands of couples save their marriages.
Sadly, when it comes to reaching out for help for marriage counseling, few have a sense of trust and confidence in their counselor, he says. Stories abound about how they came out of a counseling session worse than when they went in.
Dr. Hawkins defines the five I's of a qualified marriage counselor as one who:
Offers wise instruction
Takes an active interest in the couple
Offers insight into why problems recur
Is willing to work intensively
Works in-depth to help the couple find long-term solutions
Why Marriage Counseling Fails offers insights into marital issues, the brokenness of the counseling system, how to find good help, and how to insist upon effective help when turning to a counselor.
How to get to heaven requires one to trust and obey God, to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, and to engage in a close, personal relationship with the Holy Spirit.
This book is designed to teach you how to honor God, how to live like Christ, how to listen to and learn from the Holy Spirit, how to live a life of prayer, how to study and know the Bible, how to spend every day preparing for heaven, and how to achieve and maintain the best spiritual health possible. These seven attributes of the best life are covered throughout this book.
You must also follow in the footsteps of Jesus and avoid living in sin. It is important to repent of your sins, to meditate on God's Word, and to ask for God's forgiveness, wisdom, and guidance. You should also always be ready for the end-times because none of us know when the Lord is coming back.
If you take all these actions, love, and honor God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, you will indeed receive the gift of salvation and eternal life. Have faith in God and stay in prayer with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, and you will avoid going to hell and end up in heaven.
You want to do the right thing--to take care of your family, to be a good employee, to be there for your friends. And you're good at it. Everyone knows they can depend on you--so they do.
But are you really doing what's best for them? And what about you--are you growing? Are you happy and relaxed? Are you excited about your gifts and your calling, or do you sometimes think,
I don't even know what I want anymore.
Find out why you have trouble saying no. Learn why you feel accepted only when you are producing. And finally experience the deep joy and peace that come with serving other people out of your abundance, not out of your need.
