Wonderful and comforting!
This book was given to me in the 1990's after I went through a terrible situation. Since then, I have passed this book on to others and have re-purchased it three times to replace the ones I have given away. It helps to "clear your head" and give you some peace.

There are many books which claim to be able to help your marriage. Some advise demanding your rights, while others give tips on how to manipulate your mate to change. The Marriage Builder teaches the Philippian 2:3 approach, "Let nothing be done through ...

Profound---At Times Overwhelmingly Thought Provoking
I am a woman. I'm only on page 90-something, but I find this book to be profound. My personal experience tells me that men ARE too passive.

In some of his previous works such as "Effective Biblical Counseling" and "Basic Principles of Biblical Counseling," Crabb focused more on integrating biblical and psychological concepts. With "Understanding People," Crabb emphasizes a biblical model of the "imago Dei" (the capacities of the image of God in ...

Review of Effective Biblical Counseling: A Model for Helping Caring Christians Become Capable Counselors
The book was purchased for a class I took at my church. I think the book is perfect for an indepth study of Christian Counseling. My class only lasted 8 weeks, so we didn't really have time to delve into it. I would recommend the book to any counseling student.

Encouragement Is A Two Way Street

However, we also need to know about our responsibility to be more encouraging toward others. This book will teach the reader that we are responsible for every word and every action toward ...

Basics for Counciling in a Biblical World
This book is wonderful material for helping those who want to help God's people. Some people start off counceling by trying to get the Christian to pray more and read more. Dr. Crabb takes counceling beyond these basic steps and challenges the heart behind the sin (Matth 5&6). Dr. Crabb keeps counceling simple and helps to give practical steps in removing "sin's decietfulness" as well as ...

When dealt with properly, and in priority order, Crabb asserts that ...

Life Changing
Well, I'm not sure that I have the ability to express my sentiments and thoughts any better than the other reviewers here, but with the hope of perhaps affecting one reader, I'll share a slightly different experience... I read this book at a time when my life was falling apart. My marriage was in shambles, my business was bordering bankruptcy, my faith was wavering, and I didn't know what else to ...
