PRAYER & SCRIPTURE IN THERAPY Page 1 Use of Prayer and Scripture in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy: A Journal Article Review Amire L. Harvin Liberty UniversityCOUN 506 PRAYER & SCRIPTURE IN THERAPY Page 2 Siang-Yang Tan discuses in his article “Use of Prayer and Scripture in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy” published in the Journal of Psychology and Christianity in 2007, ways prayer and scripture can be integrated in cognitive-behavioral therapy.

Moreover, Hodges (2005) contended that 43 percent of all mental health clients rely on their religious deity for healing.

First, conducting a spiritual history is similar to taking a family history assessment. The social worker asks the patient to take a two part questionnaire, an Initial Narrative Framework and Interpretive Anthropology Framework, in which the client will discuss their upbringing and spiritual background. The author believes that patients who are very talkative will benefit from this type of evaluation.
LIBERTY THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY BOOK REVIEW 1 THE PURPOSE DRIVEN CHURCH: GROWTH WITHOUT COMPROMISING YOUR MESSAGE AND MISSION A PAPER SUBMITTED TO DR. ROBERT GOWINS IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR COMPLETION OF THE COURSE, CLED 620 VISION AND STRATEGIC PLANNING BY FREDERICK MCDONNELL HALEY III LYNCHBURG, VIRGINIA NOVEMBER 18, 2011 INTRODUCTION In The Purpose Driven Church: Growth Without Compromising Your Message & Mission, author Rick Warren asserts that churches who organize around their biblical purposes will become healthy, growing churches (Warren 1995, 397). God’s purposes for the church include worship, ministry, evangelism, discipleship, and fellowship (Warren 1995, 394). Though Warren’s ecclesiology is excessively anthropocentric, he provides an effective planning paradigm that merits careful consideration by leaders of the church. ABSTRACT Rick Warren authored The Purpose Driven Church with the intention of defining the biblical purpose of the church and identifying practical implications of those purposes (Warren 1995, 395). His conclusions are drawn from his experiences as the founding and lead pastor of Saddleback Church, one of the largest churches in America.
One of its uses is spreading knowledge of Christianity. The printing press invented in 1041 has published many Bibles that many people have benefitted from. This has increased the number of Christians worldwide enabling the word of God to be spread- fulfilling Gods command.

God has given human being intelligence to invent new things as ‘God created mankind in his own image, in the image of
[4] Because one chaplain is Roman Catholic and another is Church of God in Christ doesn’t mean as chaplains they cease to be that. But on the contrary the strength lies in our diversity and possibly adds a dimension to the different beliefs. Conclusion Due to the growth of religious believes today pluralism becomes very significant. Pluralism helps the United States chaplains to function together in harmony in spite of the difference.

Doing this interview has made me consider specializing in CBT. Also during my research I found that though the National Association of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapists they offer three certificate programs. They are Certified Mental Health Paraprofessional that requires a bachelor in any field, Certified Group Facilitator only requires a high school diploma and a Certificate for a Mental Health Paraprofessional that requires a Master in mental health discipline all online. I would recommend this treatment to people seeking help and education for these disorders. Those have tried medication and all other models of therapy and have lost hope.
