This book is a must for anyone involved in discipling or counseling of new Christians and even some older ones. It is also invaluable for any counselor who wants to be sure to provide Biblically correct counseling.

I found this book of relatively little value. I suppose if you spend sessions processing demons, angels and satan, then it will be something you want to get your hands on. It read like a theological diatribe instead of a Christian counseling book and I felt Collins was more interested explaining his theological positions than writing a book on counseling that allows for counselors to apply Christian therapy in a realisic manner. Also, I experienced it as extremely defensive as Collins spent a great deal of energy pointing out what is wrong with other religions and beliefs instead of sticking to the title of the book. If you are a rigid, fundamentalist, convervative Christian counselor, and your clients are all the same, this may be for you. If you are anything but, or if your clients differ, I would skip right over it. I suggest instead Psychology, Theology & Spirituality in Christian Counseling by Mark, R. McMinn, Ph.D. It is much more practical, useful and realistic and you can pull from it and apply it to your counseling with a wide range of Christian clients in all their diversity.

This is a very much needed teaching manual for this time and age when too few Christian Clergy are even READY to give an answer to those in pain, sorrow, or sin they can't seem to break. The Bible has every answer to every problem for every one, every day. Excellent resource

I am still reading this book, but it is one of the best in this area. I find it honest, direct and very helpful in the course for which it was recommended. Christian Counselors in particular should find it very helpful, but all counselors would benefit from reading this.

This is a wonderful book and was received in a timely manner, I am very pleased.

This is the best book I have read in reguards to couciling. I am a drug and alcohol counciler, this book has guided me through many situations.

This was an excellent buy and the customers service person I called was quite warm and accomodating.
