How can Christians today better connect their beliefs to their behavior? Is it possible to feel and know more of God's presence in our daily lives? What has God changed in our relationship to Him now that we are in Christ?" In "Union with Christ for Today," David makes this little known and seldom emphasized teaching accessible and applicable for readers worldwide by examining what the Bible clearly teaches about one of the most important truths in our salvation: union with Christ. "Could understanding this teaching, and meditating on its phenomenal truths, really make a difference in our life today?" David thinks so and he deeply delves into the Apostle Paul's constant references to union with Christ in a practical manner. This is one book you simply must read for yourself, no matter what your religious background is. God's primary purpose for creating intimacy with believers is to reveal Himself. In His love, God has already provided the way for us to experience deeper levels of His grace, power, peace and joy through His, the Lord Jesus Christ. Discover What the Bible has to say about your true identity in Christ: United Forever!

The latest research today reveals that a growing number of pastors and churches feel a sense of uncomfortable inadequacy and unpreparedness in counseling people who suffer from troubling, emotional ills and mental illness, especially as their problems are still considered "taboo" by many. Additionally, these needs have exploded into a gigantic counseling industry, based on secular, naturalistic philosophies. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze what selected theologians and noted psychologists have written about mankind's deepest needs in order to discover the extent, if any, to which these two worldviews may be integrated without compromise of Biblical truth. The research utilized in this project will involve a critical series of convergence/divergence studies of six theologians and six psychologists representing different models of highly respected theological thought and psychological theory. It will become evident, to the reader, that these critiques affirm the spiritual and psychological advantages of a Christian theistic worldview. This book is written for pastors, counselors and concerned believers seeking truth, inner healing and faithfulness to God's inerrant Word.

Published by RA Press. "Study and mystery guide the lover in these poems, enriching both the journalism and the literature of the Adirondacks, one of the best kept, equally care-worn, secrets of the Eastern half of the nation's natural history. Crews' sharp tempos match the walking-rhythms and dissonances of his climbs, spliced against lyric microseconds of surprise, and faith in the visual. His is a country of scars, of winds strong enough to erase a [rock]face and the memory of it." - Judith Vollmer author of THE WATER BOOKS

Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2012 in the subject Theology - Practical Theology, grade: 4.0, , language: English, abstract: The purpose of this thesis is to analyze what selected, leading theologians and noted psychologists have written, throughout history, about mankind's deepest needs in order to discover the extent, if any, to which these two worldviews may be integrated, without compromise of Biblical truth. "What," asked Tertullian in the third century, "has Athens to do with Jerusalem? Or the Academy with the church?" The Greek city of Athens was the home of the Academy, an institution of secular learning founded by Plato in 387 B.C. For Tertullian, Christian theologians inhabited a completely different mental world to their pagan counterparts. How could there be a meaningful dialogue between these two polar opposites? This question has resonated throughout history. Regarding theology and psychology, the question is being hotly debated today and is the primary focus of this research paper. "Is there any place in the church for psychology? If so, what is that place?"Today's desperate search for spiritual and emotional problem resolution, inner fulfillment and clear answers to the complicated questions of life, have all exploded into a gigantic industry, based on naturalistic philosophies. Recovery programs, twelve-step seminars, counseling centers and hordes self-help book are everywhere! Millions of Christians are seeking spiritual help and self-understanding, with modern-day maladies, in psychological theories rather than Scriptural truths. The methodology employed here will involve a critical series of objective convergence/divergence studies of six theologians and six psychologists representing different models of highly respected theological thought and psychological theory. It will be evident, to the reader, that these critiques and especially in the concluding chapter, that the personal presuppositions of the author affirm the world view of Christian theism.

PUBLISHED BY RA PRESS. "The writing of David Crews in Wander-Thrush is as evocative as a Hudson River School painting that uses words instead of oil and canvas. These essays are a history lesson, a naturalist's field journal and an elegiac personal tribute to the Adirondack Park, one of the world's great natural treasures. Wander-Thrush is poetry in narrative form, which will help even people who have never been to the Adirondacks imagine this wild, hardscrabble and unforgettable terrain of mountains, bogs and birdsong." -Darryl McGrath, author of Flight Paths: A Field Journal of Hope, Heartbreak, and Miracles with New York's Bird People
