The Psychology of God is a scientific study of various aspects of human development and behavior taken from both a theological and psychological perspective. The main premise is this: If we are called children of God, then how we grew physically as children may be associated with how we grow spiritually as children of God; furthermore, how God raised us as His children may reflect how we should raise our children.The Psychology of God points out that modern scientific psychology has discovered that ancient references to the heart, body, mind, and soul correspond to the modern understanding of these four components of which a human being is comprised. However, in other aspects, such as psychological therapy, the Bible and Modern Psychology differ immensely.While the author openly admits his belief in a personal God, The Psychology of God is a scientific work based on scientific facts. In-text citations reference the peer-reviewed sources of statements and claims made throughout the book. An extensive bibliography list offers and encourages the reader to dig deeper into the psychology of God; and discover their purpose in life, which is the road to happiness and life satisfaction. Dr. Eric J. Kolb was born and raised on a farm in Nineveh, PA. His father was a professional football player for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and his mom was and still is a cowgirl. When He was two, he and his adopted sister were sleeping in their crib when a fire broke out. His dad was able to climb into a second-story window and save the two kids. Thus, Kolb grew up knowing that God had a special purpose for his life. In high school, Kolb started with a very promising future in sports, but injuries, most likely due to muscle dystrophy, led him down an academic path. Upon graduation with a bachelor's in Math from Ohio University, Kolb wanted to spend a summer in Germany as a street performer. Kolb became a professional performing artist, but once again, his illness changed his path. Thus, Kolb went back to school, obtained his master's in psychological counseling and later his Ph.D. in general psychology.

In writing this book it is not my intent to upset the beliefs and practices of my colleagues. They do a wonderful work in providing a needed service to thousands of people who need counseling and direction in their life – others truly do have chemical imbalances that can only be handled by professionals in the mental health field. Whether they deal with cognitive issues or behavior patterns of disruption in their lives – these problems have to be dealt with by all of us – Christian, psychologists, or secular; we must all do our best to minister to the mentally ill. The purpose of this book was to take a look at how God view our mental conditions and how sin affects that condition. If the wages of sin is death – then we must look into God’s Psychology and learn from Him. How to break the curse that is upon us – (that includes all of us) I hope this book has helped you to further understand the purpose of God’s thinking toward us and his solution to the problem if “Sins Curse” and how he sent his son, Jesus, to destroy the death sentence that we all face – (Heb 2:14) (Act 4:12) ‘Dr. Richard Weathers commands a gif along with much scriptural knowledge of God’s Word. End-time events are presented and explained in a manner that you will understand. Exciting and amazing insight into God’s plan for us. Dr. Weather’s devotion to study and sharing with others is well above average. You will feel the strength and wisdom in each section of this book. You will be excited to share with others what you have just discovered through this person, God’s servant! Blessing as you read the following pages. -Dr. Linda L. Jones In my thirty-nine years as a minister of the gospel, I have never experienced such a profound book! God has provided Dr. Richard with outstanding insight of the end times through his studies of the book of Revelation. As the return of our Lord and Savior draws near, the wisdom within the pages of this book is needful for this generation. -Reverend Gerry Bryant

In this provocative and engaging book, Lee Kirkpatrick establishes a broad, comprehensive framework for approaching the psychology of religion from an evolutionary perspective. Kirkpatrick argues that religion is a collection of byproducts of numerous psychological mechanisms and systems that evolved for other functions.

The Psychology of Religion and Spirituality: From the Inside Out, by Timothy Sisemore, provides and introduction to the field of the psychology of religion and spirituality utilizing a mixed method approach allowing persons of faith (and one who is an atheist) to give voice to their experience to supplement the quantitative research that has been done in the field. This text honors the value of religion and spirituality in the lives of the majority of humans while acknowledging the weakness and problems that come with faith as well.

Over a century ago, psychologists who were fascinated with religion began to study and write about it. Theologians and religious practitioners have responded to this literature, producing a fascinating dialogue that deals with our fundamental und- standings about the human person and our place in the world. This book provides an introduction to the important conversations that have developed out of these interchanges. The dialogue between psychology and religion is difficult to study for a number of reasons. First, it requires knowledge of both psychology and religion. People with a background in psychology often lack a solid understanding of the religious traditions they wish to study, and theologians may not be up to date on the latest developments in psychology. Second, it requires conceptual tools to organize the material and understand the basic problems involved in any attempt to connect the science of psychology with religion. These concepts can be found in many places, for instance in the writings of philosophers of science, but they are complex and often hard to follow for those without a proper theological and philosophical ba- ground. Finally, authors who write on the topic come to the study of psychology and religion from a variety of academic and personal backgrounds. This makes for wonderful diversity in conversations, but it makes understanding and mastery of the material quite difficult.
