“A fresh and greatly needed approach to helping the whole person; it fills a great gap in the existing literature.”
“Counselors just beginning their careers or those who often must do the work of counseling — such as ministers, teachers, and nurses — will greatly appreciate the value of this book as an introduction to the field. Experienced therapists will value the creative insights of the author and her skilled blending of approaches that many have considered antagonistic, such as the two view proposed by Alcoholics Anonymous and cognitive therapy. It is a wise, flexible, and open minded guide that pulls together the contemporary knowledge about substance abuse into one source.”
“A profound insight into the tenor of the Christian message…Congar’s analysis of Jesus as the Image of God is a superb piece of theological writing… especially welcome…no one can write as charismatically as Pere Congar.”
“The author’s approach…reflects a robust, mature piety which not only illumines the mind, but also probes the practical values of the Christian mysteries.”
