Jesus & Therapy: Arrested Development and Misalignment: Where Healing Meets Holiness

God is concerned about your mind. Not in a passing way — in the way a craftsman is concerned about the integrity of the wood he is shaping. And yet many of us have spent years asking God to cast out what He is asking us to grow through.Jesus & Therapy: Arrested Development & Misalignment is a ten-chapter teaching on sanctification written for the believer who is tired of surviving and ready to be formed. Drawing from Scripture, clinical insight, and the theology of transformation, Dr. Zerek Mayes explores the intersection of faith, therapy, and the slow, sacred work of becoming whole.There is a difference between deliverance and development. Deliverance is how you deal with demons. Therapy is how you learn to deal with you. And both are sacred. This book refuses to separate them.Across ten chapters — each anchored in Scripture and written for one sitting — readers will examine the roots of misalignment, the wounds that keep us stuck, and the path toward genuine Christlikeness. Topics include sanctification and the realignment of self, the examination of pain, truth-telling, trauma and lordship, family systems, repentance, and the final resolve.This book is a reader's companion to Jesus & Therapy: Arrested Development & Misalignment — A Formation Guide. Each of the ten chapters pairs directly with one of the ten movements of the workbook. Read together; let the work be slow.What You Will Explore:Sanctification & The Realignment of the Self (John 17:17)Faith, Hope, and the Examination of Pain (Hebrews 11:1)Truth Hurts — But What Kind of Truth?
