Notes of a Pastoral Counselor

Are you a more concrete or abstract thinker? And what does that have to do with effective psychotherapy? Or what about the theological concepts of monotheism versus polytheism? Which is a projection of a more integrated psychological perspective? What are you grieving? What you lost? Or wanted/needed but didn't get? What do moral and spiritual have to do with what is psychological? Or counseling with the golf swing? Are you a more positive a more thankful person or perhaps more negative even resentful of whatever the circumstances? Are you more of a worrier or a delighter more skeptical or encouraging? These and other human characteristics Monty Knight speaks to in this book of short essays three sermons--even a hymn--written out of conversations with patients students and parishioners over his many years of ministry as a pastoral counselor.
