The Endless Possibilities Course Book by Dr. Lee B. Spitzer

The Endless Possibilities Spiritual Journey Course Book replaces the original Endless Possibilities Spiritual Journal and Workbook (1997, 1998).

The Exploration Exercises have been revised based on feedback I’ve gained from so many spiritual journey retreats and workshops during the past three years. 


Each Exploration Exercise has been renumbered and given a title, Scripture passages have been added for both reference and devotional purposes, and the relevant pages in Endless Possibilities are also listed. Some of the original exercises have been dropped, while others have been re-worded. There are 31 more exercises than in the original workbook.

Jesus Christ from Cover to Cover by Dr. Lee B. Spitzer

Introducing Jesus Christ from Cover to Cover by Dr. Lee B. Spitzer!


“Who do people say the Son of Man is?”


Jesus Christ is the central figure of Christianity. The Gospels chronicle Jesus’ journey and contain a pattern that can help us understand the true meaning of his life. But before Jesus lived, a mysterious and multi-faceted Messianic thread wove itself through the pages of the Hebrew Scriptures. How did Jesus respond to this Jewish hope? Following Jesus’ resurrection, the first generation of Christians grappled with the often challenging implications of his Messianic journey and message. 

JESUS CHRIST FROM COVER TO COVER traces the Messianic theme of the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. Informed by both Dr. Spitzer's Jewish heritage and unique Endless Possibilities perspective on spirituality, JESUS CHRIST FROM COVER TO COVER challenges the reader to encounter Jesus in a new way.

On the Road to Freedom by Colleen M. Stortvedt

A variety of approaches have been developed for integrating psychology and practical theology. Whether you are a professional counselor, a pastor, or a Christian worker, you are faced with the dilemma of choosing from an array of choices and knowing what approach will be the most effective with the individual you are seeking to help. On the Road to Freedom aids in this process by summarizing a variety of approaches to biblical counseling and providing suggestions based on the author’s experience regarding how and when to use them.  

 

On the Road to Freedom addresses a way of thinking and living on the part of the therapist that contributes to effective integration.  It provides a deeper understanding of many of the basic issues encountered in counseling, such as identity, forgiveness, repentance, and suffering along with practical tools in the form of charts, diagrams, games and homework assignments which can be used in the counseling process to address these issues.  This manual challenges the reader to think outside the box about creative ways to reach clients or counselees and to become skilled in using the Scriptures to help them understand and live out God’s ways.

 

On the Road to Freedom also provides an understanding of which methods and tools could be helpful in dealing with a person with a specific diagnosis or issue such as depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, or impulse control.  

 

Colleen Stortvedt has been a bilingual therapist at Oasis Counseling Intl. in Norfolk, Nebraska for the past 20 years and has a doctorate in Biblical Counseling.  She has a passion for facilitating the process of integrating the spiritual and psychological perspective in therapy.  She and her husband Mark have traveled internationally to provide training in this process and to care for Christian workers.
