Personal Counseling

This book answers questions with a perfect symbiosis between biblical exegesis, personal experience and expert opinions on the subject. Numerous infographics and explanatory notes interwoven throughout the text aid in comprehension of the concepts presented here. After defining spiritual restoration, he analyzes in detail the characteristics of each of the different agents involved in the process of restoration and presents principles and foundations that support it, emphasizing a double perspective. The principles taken into account by the person who has fallen include recognizing one’s fault, forgiving one’s self, not blaming others, avoiding defensive actions, seeking the counsel of others, practicing prayer and meditation. The principles guiding the Christian community include: avoiding judgment without the practice of forgiveness, seeking reconciliation, avoiding murmurings and gossip, and a loving integration and acceptance of one another. He openly denounces the church for not adequately coping with the facts of this subject matter and proclaims that church politics ought to be demolished to make way for a fresh breeze of spiritual renovation. This book is directed to pastors and leaders, but its reading should also be recommended to all of their church members, whose attitudes, the author affirms, play a crucial role in the success or failure of the restoration process.
