This is a wonderfully refreshing book in light of the overly-sympathetic trends and "what you feel is what is real" psychology of today. Chambers clearly defines psychological health as the life that is Christ. In clearly developed thought he declares that the road to the wholly healthy life is through absolute surrender to the Absolutely Healthy One -- Jesus.

I'm not one who's into psycho-babble, but I do like trying to understand human nature a little better. A great book to help on this learning journey is Oswald Chambers' "Biblical Psychology."

As you might imagine, Chambers has a heavy emphasis on the biblical part. In fact, he makes the case that no one can really know themselves. But we can know God better, and He will reveal our real selves to us. Chambers delves into Scripture to teach how our body, soul, and spirit interact with each other, with outside influences, and with the Spirit of God.

It was an absolutely fascinating book to read. This is one of Oswald Chambers' longest books, and also one of his most technical books. So be forewarned that you will have to really concentrate and apply yourself to grasp all he discusses, but if you persevere through it, you will be richly rewarded.

I thought I ordered a used book, but this book appeared brand new! The content exceeded my expectations, as I cherish this man's God-given wisdom.

Oswald Chambers does it again - for the probing mind and seeking a deeper understanding of Christianity... I highly recommend.

He has interesting points to consider but Chamber's theology often differs from mine. So, for me, I won't purchase another one of his books. You'll have to decide for yourself. It also was a little "choppy"...I believe you could find a more cohesive book on the subject.
