My son went to a Theophostic Counselor and that started the nightmare for us, his parents. In our opinion, we believe it opened the door to accusing evil spirits and by the power of suggestion, he was possibly hypnotized by the counselor. This book is a good book to expose the truth. The devil can put lies into your memory and Theophostics, in our opinion, is just a gimmick or twist on phychology. We believe it hides under "prayer ministry!" Sadly,We know the truth from the fruits that theophostics produced. Read this book and perhaps it will save you from the heartache we have experienced! Also, I got a better understanding after I read their book called "The End of Christian Psychology", which I read first.

This book was wonderful. Finally, someone is courageous enough to stand up and say something about TheoPhostic and other unbiblical counseling ministries. I have read both this book and the "training" materials for Theophostic. Theophostic is unbiblical and so is James Dobson at times. Bobgan isn't attcking these people. he is simply being bold and trying to point out and warn people that they might be false teachers. An endevor we (Bible-believing Christians) should seek to do!

This book has a clear agenda. He is against anything that is psychological. It is very bias and totally off course. He also attacks men such as James Dobson and Focus on the Family. Theophostic Ministry has worked for me and my family and is all about the Lord. DO not waste your time reading this one. Read the primary source "Healing Life's Deepest Hurts" by Dr. Ed M. Smith.

Although this book is extreme, its exposure of the fallacies in Theophostic counseling is accurate. Ed Smith's proof-texting takes Bible verses out of context and uses them to forward his adgenda. If you are struggling, pick up a Bible and read what Jesus has to say about it.

I know the Word (I have most of the NT memorized) and I know theophostics. My wife has met the Jesus of the NT in theophostic sessions while her counselor writes verbatum notes of their conversations. When I compare the two, the session notes might as well be another chapter in the gospels. The Jesus she meets has all the wisdom, grace, kindness, playfulness, and powerful teaching that he displayed in the scriptures. And she is healed of wounds that 10 years of Prozac and Minerth-Meier counselor sessions could not relieve. So don't bother with inexperienced reviews; get Ed Smith's tapes and start experiencing the Biblical Jesus yourself.
