Summary: FALSE ASSUMPTIONS or 12 Beliefs That Can Drive You Crazy
Review: First, I ALSO have a degree in Psychology, in fact TWO degrees, Psychology and Counselling. I find that this book is very good. It explores ideas that Christians have or have been taught that may not be entirely accurate or Biblical. Very therapeutic. I read parts of it to a cell group and the group was very interested in studying it. So "Psychobabble" probably did not understand the book and is writing it off. Our group and myself feel VERY MUCH the opposite! Not that every word is true. A few ideas may or may not be true depending on circumstances, but on the whole this book is great and should be read by every Christian! Ever heard the idea, "God first, others second, me third?" Well, IF that were TOTALLY true, then how would you "Love others as yourself?" You would be loving yourself last, if you had time. So does that mean you love others last too? I hope you can see that "God first, others second, me third" sounds very spiritual but is NOT FROM SCRIPTURE. The book points out this and many other false assumptions. The only reason I say 4 stars is because, unless it is the Bible, I find it hard to rate anything 5 stars!

Summary: Not a good book unless you're in therapy
Review: Poorly written book. I was very disapointed. A lot of psycho babble (I should know because I have a degree in psychology). If you're a healthy, balanced person you have no need for this book. But, if you have emotional baggage from the past, you'll probably be thrilled with this book.

Review: This book contains so much more than the title even suggests. It is also a thesis on sound mental health and healing from old emotional wounds. Many of the principles from Boundaries are also covered in this book. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking to better understand Biblical principles or anybody who wishes to heal from hurts of the past.
