ISBN: 9780842352529 Summary Mark McMinn’s book Psychology, Theology and Spirituality in Christian Counseling introduces to his audience a revised edition of his 1996 book for those counselors who are considering the ministry of Christian counseling. Dr. McMinn’s main focus is the counselor’s daily life, and the counselor’s therapy sessions. McMinn (2011) looks at how the counselor can integrate the Christian faith into their counseling practices. In order to have religious interventions, the counselor is required to understand spiritual formation, prioritize personal spiritual training, challenge prevailing methods of mental health, be sensitive to ethical issues and strive to have a strong scientific base. McMinn (2011 p. 60) points out that there are three roles that counselors hold simultaneously.

According to Adams (1986), this change must be toward God and must be “from the heart outward” (p. 7).

The very backbone of his counseling is 2 Timothy 3:16, which states: ," But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work"(NIV, 2010).
