Book Review- 12 "Christian" Beliefs That Can Make You Crazy

"12 12 "Christian" Beliefs That Can Drive You Crazy by Henry Cloud


 

My review


  rating: 4 of 5 stars
Henry Cloud and John Townsend do an excellent job exposing some of the nonBiblical advice that well-meaning Christian pastors and teachers often give. 



They explore statements such as, "It is wrong to do good things for yourself,"  "Shoulds are good," and "Guilt and shame can be good."  They examine these statements in light of God's Word and explain how wrongly applying them can negatively affect emotional health and healing.



I often found myself reading the "crazymaker" and saying, "But, wait, that is Biblical."  But, as I read on, I saw how the wrong application of some of those statements can be really devastating.  I was challenged to examine things I've always heard and accepted in light of God's Word- always the best place to go to find the truth.
