While purporting to be in harmony with the Bible, this book mixes in modern-day psychology principles that in my view are actually in conflict with the Word of God. In my opinion, all sincere Christians who read this book should read it with caution . . . and as the noble Bereans, search the Scriptures to see if these things be so.
In my view, objectionable teachings in this book are as follows: 1) Definition of trauma. Too broad, including things such as the claim that a down to earth parent not taking enough time to ?analyze? their children is traumatizing them. The book goes on to give the methods to deal with this trauma. This broad definition of trauma appears to be a rather transparent attempt to imply that true victory in Christian living comes by excavating trauma rather than by finding salvation through Jesus and rest in forgiveness. 2) Broad and sweeping statements and formulas based on an unsubstantiated and untried foundation. Example is the dividedness concepts and the charts to measure maturity. 3) Focus on self; enjoying myself; finding joy when people focus on me; maintaining my sense of self. 4) Second-guessing the power of God through salvation, the knowledge of truth through the Bible, and the power of prayer through faith.
The temptation is to trade the simple teachings of Scripture for logical sounding formulas that miss the point. This book promotes hyper-analysis as opposed to a life of simple faith; living in obedience from day to day. As a side note, did you think about how much better it makes a person feel when they are told that the root of their problem is really something someone else did to them, rather than taking full responsibility for their own actions and admitting that their reactions are driven by the carnal nature.
Ephesians 4: 14 ?That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive.?
