This review is from: When Counseling Is Not Enough: Biblical Answers for Those Who Still Struggle (Paperback)
Dr. Johnston keeps bringing readers back to the point that knowing God is more important than any other action one could take in improving behavior. That's because God is the Creator and He knows what is best. His ways are perfect regardless of what circumstances seem to imdicate. Coupling experience with research, the author discusses why some counseling works, while other efforts fall short. He addresses people who have sought help through counselors, only to find themselves disappointed.
In this section of the book he points out that any valid counsel must be based on what God's Word, the Bible says about an issue. The Bible does not speak to every issue, but it provides principles that apply. He makes a solid case that not all counselors who say they are Christian truly are. What he says on this issue follows logically. Going on from these general issues, in the latter part of the book he gets into specific problems people seeking help would most likely face. His advice is solid and helpful. This is a good book for those seeking help and realizing hope is truly available, but it may take some time to achieve the desired results.

This review is from: When Counseling Is Not Enough: Biblical Answers for Those Who Still Struggle (Paperback)
This book goes very well with "Why Christians Sin." On top of that, it not only helps the individual Christian, but pastors, counselors, and in forming a 12-Step model support group that is Biblical and without the politically correct nonsense that has become so common in secular groups that want to use the term "Higher Power."
