Main description:

1) The workbook provides updated, easy-to-understand, ACT-consistent metaphors and exercises for Christian clients working with mental health professionals in a professional context

2) Both mental health professionals and Christian clients will want to buy this corresponding workbook because ACT provides a flexible, evidence-based approach to ameliorating a variety of symptoms and disorders and Christian clients may wish to turn to their own faith tradition for help with psychological suffering; this workbook helps such Christian clients to feel comfortable addressing mental health concerns from within their own worldview

3) Although there are a variety of ACT workbooks for clients, there are no faith-based ACT workbooks on the market that offer Christian-sensitive exercises, strategies, and metaphors for ameliorating psychological suffering in a professional context, doing so from within a Christian worldview.
