Book Reviews of How People Grow: What the Bible Reveals About Personal Growth
Book Review: 4 & 1/2 or 5
Summary: 4 Stars
It's been a while since I've read this book and I didn't finish it. However, I remember two things very clearly from this book (and from other of their books). One, they make good sense. Secondly their material is the testimony of what has actually WORKED.
Too many people stuck in "traditional" Christianity will call this book unbiblical. However my experience has been that although these people can quote much scripture, like the Pharisees didn't they too don't understand the heart behind the truth.
Like in Celebrate Recovery (a great Christian program for people who need any kind of healing) these authors don't just have theories. They have experience with people who have experienced REAL healing.
Many Christians who were destroying themselves and others in addictions and other destructive patterns have turned to this kind material after trying "traditional" Christianity.
Although the church still does much good, I believe a very large portion and perhaps even most of church "leadership" and consequently their followers have become just like the Pharisees were: dry, stagnate, judgmental, condemning and useless. That is not how Jesus' ministry or the apostle's ministries were.
This book is not perfect, but I would HIGHLY recommend this book and even other of their books such as "Boundaries" and "Changes That Heal."
