Top Highlights
“Biblical counselors sometimes can be pressured to accept that there are people who have depression for which there is no logical explanation. When this is combined with information about their depressed relatives, this pressure can become an almost irresistible force. But Christian counselors should be willing to reflect, ‘Have I asked enough questions yet?’” (Page 170)
“Withdrawal symptoms are often intense, and they can be similar to the feelings that caused the patient to take the medicine in the first place.” (Page 167)
“A kleptomaniac is another way to say thief. ‘Latent homosexuality’ (a term proposed by Sigmund Freud himself) means that God (or genetics or something else) has predisposed a person to be what God has called an abomination (Lev. 18:22), uncleanness (Rom. 1:24), vile affections (Rom. 1:26), and reprobation (Rom. 1:28).1 The new innocuous idioms for this behavior are ‘sexual preference,’ and, of course, ‘gay’ (arguably the greatest misnomer in the entire English language).” (Page 63)
“Christians should avoid the use of words and terminology of this world system whenever Biblical concepts will suffice:” (Page 63)
“often presented to patients in ways that can make it appear to be based entirely upon well-established facts” (Page 169)
