Christian Life Coaching (ePub)

This book, Christian Life Coaching - The Intersection of Fath, Psychology and Life Coaching and Overcoming ADHD and OCD, has been a labor of love for me. It represents my metaphorical personal journey of overcoming my mental disabilities by integrating Christianity, psychology and life coaching as holistic resources. It was an exploration of intellectual curiosity, spiritual faith and desire to unify these three areas of knowledge for practical use for Christians.

For much too long these three areas of "expertise" developed separately and it took recent academia to explore these themes as an interdisciplinary approach.

This book is for Christians and "non-Christians" to use as a guide, explanation and practical tool to overcome ADHD and OCD specifically, and generally to achieve personal transformation and growth as humans living our time in this world as material beings. Hopefully, the discussion will be persuasive for both Christians and the secular world of cognitive behavioral psychology.

I am not an expert in Christian theology nor in pastoral counseling, nor a clinical psychologist, nor a professional psychiatrist. What I know is what happened to me on my personal journey to overcome ADHD and OCD. I was seeking intellectual justification for what worked for me. I hope this will be useful for the reader of my book. However, this theory or life coaching practice has not been tested scientifically nor in any quantifiable experiments. We leave this task for further research.

I am a practicing lawyer with over 25 years of experience in private law practice in Canada and as in-house legal counsel for Hong Kong companies. I am a Christian and have been since 2011. My interest slowly moved in the direction of life coaching as an outlet for my frustrations as a lawyer. We tend to give legal and business advice in a rational manner. However, I saw that myself, clients and corporate stakeholders that I dealt with needed something special and not necessarily legal solutions for their business and personal problems. This solution is related to their holistic personalities which became clearly visible under stress and personal conflict. I knew that lawyers by training were not equipped, nor should they be with life coaching tools from a Christin perspective. Thus, I thought the answer would be to categorize it as a new discipline or profession called Christian Life Coaching.

In my exploration and pursuit of writing this book, I can across the idea of using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to research and seek answers to our questions on Christian life coaching and how AI can be used as a tool to assist clients. I started to use the POE app (readily available in app stores) to assist in the writing of this book. Much of the content is taken from my KitluilifeBot on POE. I created this Bot from the perspective of a Christian life coach reflecting some of the principles described in this book. Please feel free to explore on your own. In fact, the attached Appendices are a product of such questions directed to KitLuiLifeBot and is useful for common questions to ask a Christian life coach.

I hope this book will transform your life, make you a stronger Christian, and help you to deal with bad habits learned in your past. This is a lot to expect so be patient and I hope the journey is worth the effort. I know this book has helped me, my colleagues, Christian brothers, secular friends and clients.
