SUB TITLE:Getting Back Up When We Let Ourselves Down

"The doctrine of the Atonement is the distinctive doctrine of Christianity. Over the course of many centuries of reflection, highly diverse interpretations of the doctrine have been proposed. In the context of this history of interpretation, Eleonore Stump considers the doctrine afresh with philosophical care. Whatever exactly the Atonement is, it is supposed to include a solution to the problems of the human condition, especially its guilt and shame. Stump canvasses the major interpretations of the doctrine that attempt to explain this solution and argues that all of them have serious shortcomings. In their place, she argues for an interpretation that is both novel and yet traditional and that has significant advantages over other interpretations, including Anselm's well-known account of the doctrine. In the process, she also discusses love, union, guilt, shame, forgiveness, retribution, punishment, shared attention, mind-reading, empathy, and various other issues in moral psychology and ethics."--

DISCOVER HOW YOU CAN FIND FREEDOM FROM GUILT AND SHAME Do any of the following apply to you? I need forgiveness from God, but I don't know how to find it. It's only a matter of time before people find out I'm not good enough. I am disconnected and lonely. How can I figure out when I am guilty and when I am innocent? I don't think I'm worth being loved. I don't want to be so angry, jealous, and judgmental. I need to have a stronger connection with God. If these statements sound familiar to you-you are not alone. Even the most emotionally healthy people today experience degrees of the anguish brought on by shame and guilt. The heavy burden of shame and guilt can often keep us from connecting with others and enjoying the freedom of living in Christ. In "Overcoming Guilt and Shame" Dr. Daniel Green and Dr. Mel Lawrenz discuss the many ways in which guilt and shame both subtly and overtly manifest themselves in our lives. Using pastoral counseling and illustrative psychological case studies, they uncover the causes of and healthy responses to shame and guilt. Daniel Green (Ph.D., University of Arkansas) is clinical director of New Life Resources, Inc. in Brookfield, WI. Mel Lawrenz (Ph.D., Marquette University) is minister at large for Elmbrook Church in Brookfield, WI, and director of The Brook Network (www.thebrooknetwork.org).

"Men are that they might have joy--not guilt trips" (Elder Russell M. Nelson). Guilt is a debilitating, forceful emotion with power to slow or stop our progression. We all feel guilt at some level, but Karen John, LCSW, explains how you can use remorse to access the Atonement and heal from unresolved guilt and pain.

Sin is not the Christian's greatest problem--guilt is! Like so many Christians, you may acknowledge that Christ has forgiven your sins, and yet you still may find yourself feeling guilty about significant moments in your past, whether they took place ten years ago or ten days ago. Why do you feel that way when you know you've been forgiven? Every person who has achieved significance for God has had to first overcome a mountain of guilt. Jacob, Moses, David, Peter and Paul were all monumental sinners who had every right to wallow in a prison of guilt. But these men threw off their shackles of shame to become remarkable heroes for God. What turned them from guilt to greatness? How can you and I live 100% guilt free? In this book Martin Steel reveals strategies to overcome the tentacles of guilt and shame that reach out to claim your future. You can become a champion for God, but first you must learn how to deal with guilt. These powerful strategies will guide you towards a life of freedom, forgiveness and victory. It does not matter what you've done in the past, God wants to give you another chance. As you read this book, you will find God whispering to you the unmistakable message of the cross: Shame off you!
