Assigned reading, and to be honest, I struggled through it. A lot of words, little said.

This book was fantastic, and I would highly recommend it to anyone. I will say that it was a bit redundant. I did, however, enjoy the fact that they mentioned the stem of the emotional and personal problems.

This was a super easy read as well. I think it would be beneficial to not only people who are counseling, but to those who just want a deeper understanding of themselves.

This is a great book for anyone who wants to understand what Christian Counseling is, why we counsel from a Godly perspective and how to effectively Counsel someone from the Bible. It is a daily resource for me to use both personally and professionally.
I highly recommend this book.

Refreshing outlook on counseling with Christian perspective& psychological integration. Very exciting read! God's love & truth, Grace & mercy, are a pathway to healing.

Was a textbook, but didn't read like a textbook. It was easy reading.

[Slynn Bookster · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a great book for anyone involved in counseling who is a believer. It provides a lot of tips on how to integrate faith into your counseling with clients and how to maintain your faith while dealing with worldly issues. It is written from a Christian perspective but is appreciative of the knowledge Psychology brings to the table. There is some repetition that got me bogged down a couple times but overall it will was well worth the read. I will refer back to it repeatedly.
