Encounters with Jesus: Unexpected Answers to Life’s Biggest Questions
Review
Praise for Timothy Keller and Encounters with Jesus
“Keller’s work belongs on the bookshelf of every serious Bible student. It is not a quick read, but, instead should be savored like fine wine, one sip at a time to glean the full impact of his life-changing message.” —Examiner
“Keller has mined the gold from these texts of Scripture, and any Christian is bound to have their minds expanded and hearts stirred, even if they have read these accounts countless times.” —Grace for Sinners
“Tim Keller’s ministry in New York City is leading a generation of seekers and skeptics toward belief in God. I thank God for him.” —Billy Graham
Psychology: The Apple of Temptation – A Historical and Philosophical Analysis
Psychology is a very attractive subject to many. But today’s Psychology has lost an integral vision of the human person. The scholastic Psychology, especially that of St Thomas Aquinas, the author argues presents a wholistic view of the human person. Such a view takes in to account the ethical and moral aspects of the human person. This is in contrast to the popular, commercial Psychology used merely as an instrument to address particular mental aspects of the human person.
CHILD DEVELOPMENT
The study of child development is of immense importance to those dealing with children, either as parents or teachers. Starting from the prenatal embryonic stage, the book traces the development of a child not only in physical field but in intellectual (cognitive), emotional (co-native), social and moral fields too, as they all make the important aspects of a child’s personality. Besides, the role of nature and nurture has been highlighted since the prenatal stage to that of adolescence. Child development in Indian perspective, with some current events, makes the book more relevant and appealing. An attempt has also been made to make abstruse writers like Jean Piaget, Sigmund Freud, etc. easy to understand. Finally, real-life pictures further contributes in making the book more interesting and lucid. As such, the book may be found as one providing some useful matter for students of Education, Psychology, Home Science and Pediatrics.

EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY: Experimentation in Problems and Methods in Teaching
Unfortunately, most of the teachers do not know how to apply the educational and psychological principles they have learnt during their training. They enter the class, deliver the lecture, ask questions and come out after the scheduled time. Is this teaching or telling? The present book, based on psychological findings and their impact on educational processes, is therefore designed to fulfil the needs of newly-trained teachers who have come out of the educational training institutions to enter the school classroom and face the pupils during the process of teaching. Apart from the problems of learning processes, the problems of human motivation have also been dealt with in the context of classroom activities. Overall, the present book is an outgrowth of study and experimentation in problems and methods of teaching in the area of classroom teaching and psychology. Its outstanding trend is increased application of findings to learning situations. The book will be a valuable source for teaching community at large.

MILITARY PSYCHOLOGY RESPONSE TO POST-PANDEMIC RECONSTRUCTION (Two Volume Set)
Edited by Lt Col Dr Samir Rawat, Professor Ole Boe and Dr Andrzej Piotrowski
Military response to disasters is increasing exponentially and the global pandemic is no different; prodded by the COVID-19, most militaries the world over go into force protection mode and at the same time, reach out to those in distress as the last resort of government to deal with pandemic. Psychologists play a critical role in facilitating those who have experienced or witnessed a disaster or other personally traumatic events. Given their proximity to frequency of occurrences of such traumatic events, military and police psychologists are in a unique position to study human behaviour under crises situations and recommend best practices and psychological interventions during and after the pandemic currently being experienced the world over. According to researchers, psychologists who respond to human tragedies like the current pandemic must conceptualise post-pandemic interventions, using strategies that take into account individual and group characteristics of the individual/unit/sub unit, intensity, and magnitude of the crises, based on the level of stress/trauma being experienced.

WHITHER INDIAN PSYCHOLOGY
This book critically examines the development of psychology discipline in India over the last century. Six chapters in the book contemplate how ancient and modern psychology will be assimilated in coming decades. The larger debate is about rendering discipline more socially viable and relevant for nation-building. We need to develop psychological knowledge which is relevant for twenty-first century India, which can deal with the problems of social unrest, war, depression and suffering, and can thrive on human strength and positive transformation. Such a psychology discipline hopefully will have potential to become a universal science.
