Neff and McMinn Review: Part A Abstract In this paper, I will discuss the book Embodying Integration, a fresh look at Christianity and the Therapy Room by Megan Anna Neff and Mark R. McMinn. I will be discussing my views and experiences as well as discussing chapters one through three in detail. We will be talking about God and having faith and about not having faith. Neff and McMinn Review Introduction Part A: Chapters 1-3 Summary

Neff and McMinn Review: Part A Neff and McMinn Review Introduction The book Embodying Integration: A Fresh Look at Christianity in the Therapy Room by Megan Anna Neff and Mark R. McMinn is about what life is like in the therapy room. I will break down chapters 1-3 into a summary, reflection, and spiritual formation. From a psychological point of view, Embodying Integration: A Fresh Look at Christianity in the Therapy Room by Megan Anna Neff and Mark R. McMinn focuses on the understanding of the connection of God through the trials and tribulations through three phases: lament, uncertainty, meaning, and enjoyment; and imaging God. Lamont has three meanings, according to the book: suffering, deep cries, and resistance (Neff & McMinn,2020, p.48). These things allow all the trials and tribulations of life while holding on to nothing but God throughout the whole time. Anytime in life, people have hardships most turn to God for answers.

Neff and McMinn Review: Part A However, some people blame God instead of Praying and asking for help, healing, and finding a way Back to normal. When people blame God for their hardships and failures, it only makes things worse for them because they suffer more by not allowing God to take over and fix the situation that's going on in their lives. They don't understand that everything happens for a reason, and nothing happens by accident or that's not meant to be. Everything the Lord does for us is a privilege. Even our hardships lead us to a better place in life. The answer is to give God all of your hardships, all of your joys, all of your tears, pain, suffering, and happy moments because God is in control of everything. Understandably, it is hard for people who lose family members whose children die or whose marriages fail to automatically blame God because we know God is in control of everything, but what they don't understand sometimes is that God is doing that for a reason and it's only going to make them stronger.
