Mark R. McMinn

What is it that makes counseling uniquely Christian? McMinn wrestles with this question while offering principles for the use of prayer, scripture, and confession within the counseling relationship. Each of these spiritual disciplines offers unique contributions to the healing process, but also give rise to challenges. McMinn addresses this tension by offering suggestions as to when and where such practices are most (and least) appropriate. What is more, McMinn helps the reader to understand show more how concepts such as sin, forgiveness, and redemption should be introduced into the counseling session. Overall, this is a very helpful resource full of real life examples. B+ show less

I feel, you just have to do it rather than reading about it. show more I loved the Author's insight on each Confession, Forgiveness, Redemption. show less
