Book Review: Practical and Profound
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is life giving tonic for the evangelical pastor or ministry leader who wants to see wise counsel flourish among ordinary Christians, rather than remain the uncontested property of the mental health establishment. Powlison, brings a theologically rich, biblically sagacious, interpersonally wise perspective to help us navigate the minefields before us: defining terms, discussing models, paradigms and institutions--and how to sanely bring redemptive ministry to people stuck in perversion and pain. In doing so, Powlison deftly avoids the simplistic "take two verses and call me in the morning" as well as the "Jesus is my ticket to heaven, and my therapist is my ticket to wholeness" approach that characterizes much of the Christian counseling world.
My criticism is minor. The chapters can seem a bit duck-taped together since I believe it is a compilation of articles turned into a book. However, for a small shortcoming, those wanting to impart wise, winsome and redemptive biblical help to Christians in the trenches of sin and fallenness to do much worse than Powlison's handy little volume.
