Book Reviews of Competent to Counsel
Book Review: "Christian" judgment does harm
Summary: 1 Stars
Mr. Adams' has neither compassion nor curiosity. He judges and directs clients by "telling them what God requires of them."(xiii) Mr. Adams is "uncomfortable" (p. 78) listening and knows what God requires of others. Everyone is a sinner. "Unsaved counselees are neither capable of understanding God's revealed will, nor capable of doing it." (p 68) Alternatively, in the parable of the good Samaritan (Luke 10:29-37), Jesus tells us to treat ALL others with unqualified mercy and compassion. This book is frightening. People like Mr. Adams have used Scriptures to justify slavery, the holocaust, and genocides of sinful unbelievers for centuries. I hope most people will listen instead to the compassion, mercy and suffering of Scriptures, and will not allow Mr. Adams to harm them.
