Turning Spirituality on Its Head
A psycho-spiritual approach to biblical understanding

LONGWOOD, FLÑIn his new book, Dr. Albert Gaw presents a fresh approach to biblical understanding and spiritual enlightenmentÑthrough the window of psychology. The Eyes of the Heart: The Biblical Path to Spirituality and Inner Empowerment (paperback, 978-1-60266-979-6; hardcover, 978-1-60266-980-2) is a study of our spiritual health, centered on several familiar Bible stories and written from the perspective of a board-certified Christian psychiatrist.

Using his four decades of experience, Gaw offers psychological insights on biblical readings. This book is written for those who need help reaching spiritual goals that they have set for themselves, but feel burdened under emotional strain. Gaw writes, "Psychological insights can broaden our understanding of biblical readings, and, when implemented, strengthen our ability to achieve those goals."

Dr. Gaw believes that the key to a significant and rich Christian life is ongoing work at a spiritual relationship with Christ. Using the framework of the lives of Paul and David, among others, The Eyes of the Heart is a reminder that our spirituality counts. Dr. Gaw reveals, through the stories of these men, that our successes and failures are paired tightly with our approach to the psycho-spiritual challenges we face.

Albert C. Gaw, MD, is a board-certified Christian psychiatrist with more than forty years of experience. An accomplished author, Dr. Gaw also teaches and does research in the areas of mental and spiritual health. Dr. Gaw and his wife Tina, a psychotherapist, live in San Francisco. Their daughter, Julie, is a film producer.
