Spiritual Reference Book Of Maladaptations Common to Man: A Psalms-Based Diagnostic and Prescriptive Guide for Biblical Soul Care

A Psalms-Based Guide for Biblical Diagnosis, Soul Care, and Restoration

The Book of Psalms does more than comfort the hurting-it reveals the condition of the human soul and points clearly toward God's remedy.

The Spiritual Reference Book of Maladaptations Common to Man is a Psalms-based reference manual designed for biblical counselors, pastors, recovery leaders, and serious students of Scripture who want a structured way to understand emotional and spiritual struggles through the lens of God's Word.

Rather than blending Scripture with psychology, this book allows the Psalms to interpret the soul, identifying common maladaptations such as fear, despair, anger, guilt, grief, spiritual confusion, and loss of hope-while presenting God's prescribed path toward restoration.

Inside This Reference BookEach Psalm is organized using a clear, repeatable framework that includes:

- Authorship and type of Psalm
- Identified emotional or psychological struggle
- Spiritual diagnosis (condition of the heart)
- Biblical prescription or "spiritual medicine"
- Expected spiritual outcome
- Practical soul-care application
- A concise summary for the "spiritual pharmacist"

This makes the book ideal for counseling sessions, sermon preparation, recovery ministry, teaching, and personal study.

- Provide both diagnosis and remedy through God's Word
