God Attachment: Why You Believe, Act, and Feel the Way You Do About God

03/04/2022 by John

Title: God Attachment: Why You Believe, ACT, and Feel the Way You Do about God
By: Tim Clinton, Ed.D.; Joshua Straub, Ph.D
Format: Paperback
Number of Pages: 256
Publisher: Howard Books; Reprint edition (November 29, 2014)

God. Whether one loves him, hates him, denies or defies him, it is hard to deny the worldwide fascination with God. This book explores why and suggests a personal response to the God Attachment in all of us.

Why has the human race, the world over, been so fascinated with…some might say obsessed with…God? This built-in attachment to God crosses religious, political, ethnic, cultural, and generational barriers.

Drs. Clinton and Straub reveal fascinating research about this worldwide phenomenon. From avoidant, anxious, and fearful to secure and personal, the range of responses to our internal attachment to God has a profound influence on the way we do relationships, intimacy, and life choices.

With helpful self-assessments, intriguing questions, and surprising revelations, this book moves from worldwide statistics to personal challenge, offering the means to become securely attached to God in a way that can have positive effects on our attitudes, approach to life, and overall life satisfaction.

Gungahlin Uniting Church is an open and inclusive community.  You are welcome to join us and participate in the life of our community as we experience life, God and seek to follow the way of Christ.
