I LOVED this book!! I found myself underlining, circling, and putting stars everywhere! I couldn't take notes fast enough. Way to go, Stoop! :)
Principles Still Working
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I read this book about 10 years ago and it literally changed my life. I was given valuable tools to help me excel in many areas of life. I am now ordering it for my 51 year old husband who is facing a career change. I highly recommend the book for people ready for a positive change.
An Absolute Must for Those in Recovery
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book has absolutely turned my whole life around. It has given me a complete new outlook on my recovery from drugs and alcohol. It has brought to light that drugs and alcohol were not my main problem, but the way I thought about myself. After reading this book, and applying it to my life, I am a new person. I now see myself in a totally different light. There is power in words--especially the words we speak to ourselves. We become what we say we are.
Excellent resource for Christian Counselors
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I found this book to be an excellent resource in my profession as a Christian Counselor. It integrates cognitive theory with Christian principles, in a clear and easy to understand manner. I have also recommended this book to my clients, who have also found it to be helpful.
Excellent resource for Christian counselees and therapists.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
As a cognitive Christian therapist, I have discovered the "self-talk" approach to be very effective. It is not only backed by research, but it is biblically based. Dr. Stoop does a good job in boiling down a lot of cognitive therapy concepts and biblical psychology into a very practical and easy-to-follow book for counselors and counselees alike. I wish I wrote it.
