Empowered (Paperback or Softback)

Psycho-spirituality is indispensable if you want to live fully your potentials. It needs to take roots in your personality, cultivated, and find expression in life. Thus, this book invites you to harness your psycho-spirituality to empower your life. It speaks to both Christians and lay readers who seek Christian precept to overcome helplessness in order to enhance emotional and spiritual growth. Hence, Empowered attempts an unprecedented exploration of the intersection of psychology and theology towards the psycho-spiritual study of a biblical character – the prophet Daniel of the Old Testament — to answer two questions:

• How is psycho-spirituality expressed in Daniel’s life and empowered him?

• How can you apply the lessons to empower your life?

The result is an enhanced understanding of Daniel, the person; how his personality interplays with divine calling; and 10 practical lessons backed by research findings that you can apply to better your life.
