Oliver, Ph.D., director of the D.Min. program in Marriage and Family Counseling, Denver Seminary
“McMinn directly targets areas that have not been addressed in an in-depth or systematic manner elsewhere. This comprehensive and unique treatment of the key issues that distinguish Christian from secular counseling is important reading for both prospective and practicing counselors.”—Joe Kloba, Ph.D., director of the Graduate Counseling Psychology Program, Palm Beach Atlantic College
“Dr. Mark McMinn has written a thoughtful and important book covering areas of psychology, theology, and spirituality. I highly recommend it to everyone interested in Christian counseling and integration.”—Siang-Yang Tan, Ph.D., director of the Psy.D. program at the Graduate School of Psychology, Fuller Theological Seminary
“McMinn’s experience and wisdom as both a teacher and a practitioner are reflected throughout this work. He has nailed a critical subject in Christian counseling, pushing the challenge of explicit integration of spiritual practice in counseling to a refined level.”—George Ohlschlager, J.D., L.C.S.W., associate director of Redwood Family Institute
