Mark McMinn examines how the emerging field of positive psychology can open constructive dialogue with the church, showing how scientific study of flourishing connects with Christian spiritual practice. The book highlights the mutual benefits of conversation between psychology and faith.

Through readable chapters on six virtues—humility, forgiveness, gratitude, grace, hope, and wisdom—McMinn synthesizes research findings and theological reflection. Each chapter also offers practical guidance for counselors and pastoral caregivers seeking to promote well‑being.

Accessible and applied, the book is aimed at pastors, counselors, and thoughtful Christians interested in how congregations can foster human flourishing. Published by Baker Publishing Group in 2017, it brings research and pastoral insight together in one concise volume.
