Bill and Kristi Gaultiere have used a Christian World View in navigating a psychological issue mental health practitioners must address with clients every day. This book will assist the clinician with his or her own life and it will help them treat others.

A healthy life is one of continuing spiritual, emotional, and relational growth. But so many feel stuck or stagnated at one stage of the journey. It's not always clear as to where or why a person is stuck, making it difficult for us to help them take the next step on their journey..

That's where Bill and Kristi Gaultiere come in. After decades in private practice as counselors and therapists, they have developed a unique model for growing in grace. In Journey of the Soul, they draw on more than 70,000 hours of providing therapy and spiritual direction, to show us how to identify our current stage of faith and the next steps to take, based on our unique needs and struggles. With Scripture, self-assessments, and soul care practices to support our progress along the way, this insightful and inspiring book will be a treasured companion on our journey no matter where we are, or how long we have been walking a Spiritual Path.
