Bridges to Freedom: Creating Change Through Science and Christian Spirituality - Hardcover

by Don Straub M. a. CCC (Author)

A theme that threads its way throughout this book is the law of love and freedom. Simply put, "There is no love without freedom." God, therefore, is not only God of love but God of freedom. He gave everything through Jesus to restore our freedom. This helps us make sense of our experiences of suffering and death Don Straub, a counselor who has also been a teacher and pastor, shares his life experiences in his work in Canada and Africa, being married three times, losing two wives to death, and being a father. He also shares his analysis of Scripture and scientific research to help readers move closer to God, enjoy spiritual growth, manage emotions, and cultivate healthy relationships. The "bridges to freedom" he highlights include authenticity, grace, healthy self-love, healthy self-talk, self-awareness, gratitude, assertiveness, and forgiveness. Move closer to the Lord, get past your mistakes, and learn life lessons with the essential bridges described in this book.
