Dr. William Backus the respected clinical psychologist and author of Telling Yourself the Truth, returns with a groundbreaking book examining how sin is the basis of many common emotional and psychological disorders. Revealing the untold story of why we act how we act, the book is sure to join of the ranks of Christian counseling classics.
What Your Counselor Never Told You is a detailed look at the causes of various character traits and the reasons behind the actions we take. It is both a tool to help you overcome sin in your life, and a handbook for self-examination to lead a purer life. The book explains how the sin our lives affects our daily actions and even our character traits.
Ideal for self-use or by trained, counselors, What Your Counselor Never Told You takes the position that spiritual health goes hand-in-hand with mental and emotional health. It puts readers on the right road to recovery.
The book was very informative. The way it shows the relation between sin and mental problems is very solid. I enjoyed the tests that one can take to see how one related with the sin tests. I would highly recommend the book.
I am a tough reviewer. I don't put much stock in counselors or in feelings, so this book was not a great discovery for me. Having said that, I realize this is not true for most people, particularly Westerners. I would recommend it for most people--but it didn't scratch my itch. Nicely done, still...
I first became acquainted with Dr. Backus years ago after reading Telling Yourself the Truth. I really got a lot out of that book as well as this one. If you're at a crossroads and needing guidance, I suggest this and any other book by Dr. Backus.
