..."Psychology is just sinful human beings sinfully thinking about sinful human beings." (Agree or Disagree) One major problem I have with the statement is that it is a little confusing to understand in the beginning. The statement is not valid so I disagree with it because some of the words in the sentence are not properly defined. For ex. “Sinful” what does the author mean by sinful? If we have to look at it logically “sinful” can be un-renew and theologically speaking it can be a sinner that is not saved. Though all human are born with a sinful nature but some of us who choose to walk a different path (righteousness) of life are saved by the grace. Ephesians 2:3 and Psalm 51:5, let us know that we are born into a sinful world but Romans 3:20, 28, Matthew 19:16-21, Ephesians 2:8, 9, Galatians 2:16 and James 2:24 all talks about been justified by faith, work and saved by grace in great detail. In fact I have always thought that psychology is the closest profession to theology moreover, there is spirituality and faith in psychology. Psychology is a profession that seeks to get to the bottom root or explains certain problems humans may be going through with a solution. Can psychology and Christian counseling really be integrated? I definitely think that psychology and Christian counseling can be integrated. One of the Psychology theories is based on faith and religion. Psychotherapy is to help humans to through difficult time but this topic would be better understood...

We live in a lovely part of England.’ CAROLE MORTIMER Surrender to the Past Carole Mortimer www.millsandboon.co.uk To Peter CHAPTER ONE ‘MIND if I join you?’ ‘Please do. I’m finished here, anyway.’ The warmly polite words had already been spoken before Mia looked up, but the friendly smile curving her lips froze in place as she instantly recognised the man standing beside her booth in the crowded coffee shop. How could she not recognise Ethan Black? Big. Dark. Forceful. Arrogant. Magnetically attractive. Still … Mia drew in a deep breath, chin tilting in challenge as she took in everything about him. It had been five years since she last saw Ethan, and his hair was still as dark as night, although it was styled much shorter than it used to be. Expertly so. His face was just as male-model handsome: wide, intelligent brow, penetrating grey eyes, sculptured cheekbones either side of a long straight nose, and a wickedly sinful mouth above a square and determined jaw. Although his mouth was unsmiling...
