Book Reviews of Words Made Flesh
Book Review: Psychology and Christianity
Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw this book in a graduate level course designed to help church workers, as nonprofessional counselors, understand how to help the people they encounter. I was awed by how profound, yet simple, the insights in this book are. For example, Ferder stresses that our feelings, even "bad" ones, are gifts from God to help us seek healing. She calls them "moments of Grace." Often working from the original Greek, Ferder explains the meaning of words like "compassion" and "caring" in more depth than the English translation might lead one to expect. Ferder is also very careful to provide balance -- for instance, when is serving Godly and when is it self-destructive? She provides guidelines. I'm buying a copy for my church library.
