Competent to Minister: The Biblical Care of Souls

Rating:
Summary: More great stuff from Christianity's best author
Review: After coming out with one of the greatest Christian books on why psychology should not be used in the Church (Psychoheresy: The Psychological Seducation of Christianity) he now teaches us what it trully means to minister to other believers.

This book reaches far beyond what we would call 'counseling.' All believers are called to minister to one another. Some are called to cook meals for those who cant, paint the houses of the elderly, some have been called as teachers, evangelists, ect. All Christians have a part to play in the mutual care of one another.

If you enjoyed "Psychoheresy,' you will enjoy this book as well. See what it trully means to care for one another in a biblical sense and see why 'counseling' does not fit into this work.

Summary: a book every christian should read
Review: The question raised in this book is, how did christians minister to suffering souls before psychology was developed? The author says that knowing and using psychology in caring for souls is not the biblical or best way to help people. He writes to Christians and raises many important issues that need to be looked at long and hard. You will either hate this book or love it, for it forces us to look at things that we have be avoiding. Mr. Bobgan sould be commended for his courage to take on the "Christian/Psycology" movement. He is blunt and yet give a positive alternative that is clearly needed and easily applied. It should set people free to love and help those that are hurting.
