This book is great for references especially for students needing help with Religion, counseling, and Bible college courses.

I confess I wouldn't have completed my undergrad counseling degree at a Christian college, John Wesley College, without having this book as a reference. Nor would I have completed my MA in Marriage & Family Therapy at Reformed Theological Seminary without the insights on every topic within the Baker Encylopedia of Psychology & Counseling (and its previous edition). No other reference book has the extensive data on everything plus a non-denominational Christian frame on the counseling and psychology topics therein. Overall, it proved itself to be "fair and balanced" between the secular and Biblical perspectives. Whenever I seemed stuck on how to start a research paper or how to understand a psychological concept (like Indirect Hypnotherapy), this book was a godsend. I do have one regret ... I never secured an invitation to contribute an article in it. I'd have been honored to associate my name with it! Highly endorsed!
