The Divine Counselor is a fantastic book. Alex Seeley does a great job of providing practical ideas and meaningful advice on how to move through the trauma you may have faced, maybe old patterns of thinking, or even if you are only searching for more purpose for your life. Her method of doing this is by the power of the Holy Spirit, but Alex does a very exceptional job explaining the Holy Spirit as a person, the attributes of the Holy Spirit, and a pathway to move forward when we trust and put our faith in the working of the Holy Spirit here today.
I really enjoyed how Alex comes from an experience where she is able not only to provide a pathway to these things, but herself has walked the road dealing with many issues personally. Nothing makes for advice than someone who has actually walked a broken road and continues to find strength moving forward with the help of the Holy Spirit. She is very open and real about her emotional healing and spiritual growth using the Biblical truth.
The only thing I noticed I would recommend is maybe in areas where you are writing and you quote scripture to make sure you document the scripture. Most Christians who are familiar with the Bible will pick up on these points, but for a new believer they may feel its the authors words not something in the Bible. This is only a recommendation, definitely not a criticism as I loved this book.
I would recommend this read to anyone looking to grow in their walk as a Christian here in 2025. Thank you NetGalley and Thomas Nelson for sending this book to me. All opinions are my own.
I'm having a hard time reviewing this one. I was looking forward to reading it and learning more about Holy Spirit, but this left me confused on things I wasn't confused with before reading and the bible verses used for it was only like part a of a verse that had a part b that could change the way it was shown.
