Divine Decline Jonathan Pride Ed D

After thirty plus years of counseling: addiction counseling, pastoral counseling, pre and post marriage counseling, family counseling, bereavement counseling, and as a prison chaplain, and hospital chaplain, I have incorporated my knowledge into developing a counseling modality that is focused on religious leader's abuse. This book has two focal points. One is holistically counseling the victims of religious leaders' financial, spiritual, or sexual abuse. The other is holistically counseling the religious leaders who have abused their member. Administering the counseling in this manner makes it possible for the counseling modality to be utilized in virtually any religion without involving the clergy leader's belief system. That is the first step in reversing the divine decline.
