Jim Gardner, Ph.D. has been a mental health professional for over forty years, and has worked with violent individuals in mental health centers, substance abuse programs, prisons, and in private practice. After using traditional counseling approaches for twenty-five years he found that they were ineffective in helping client overcome feelings of grief, anger, and shame. Then he learned a simple, powerful way to help them resolve these feelings through prayer. For seventeen years he has witnessed hundreds of people be set free from anger, grief, shame, addiction and depression using this faith-based approach. In Stopping America's Violence Epidemic, Dr. Gardner hopes to equip churches to teach their communities how to be set free from the underlying emotions of anger and grief that lead to violence.
