5.0 out of 5 stars No-nonsense Bible Based Life Changing Book, February 28, 2002

This review is from: Heart of the Problem Workbook (Paperback)

This book is great in cutting through all of the psychobabble, helping us get to "The Heart of the Problem", and discovering God's powerful life-changing solutions from the Bible. This book is not secular psychotherapy with a thin veneer of scripture, it is scripturally based from the beginning. I use it as a workbook for those I counsel with great success. I have never heard anything but praise for this book from anyone who has used it. It is worth far more than the current price!

5.0 out of 5 stars A helpful tool for a permanent "fix" - not just a "patch", January 29, 2008

This review is from: Heart of the Problem Workbook (Paperback)

When a person first starts through this workbook there is a temptation to think that it's mostly about Henry Brandt and his advice. However, careful and thoughtful study, coupled with the workbook questions and activities by Kerry Skinner, can bring about realization and permanent changes in the reader's life. I believe this book is carefully written and the stories and scripture can be used by the Spirit to expose area(s) of our life that require repentance and not just relief. I have personally found this book to be a very effective help when dealing with a difficult situation.
