bondage breaker
For one of the classes I am taking this fall, I have to read 8 books in 8 weeks. We are now into the sixth week of the class. I have enjoyed most of the books quite a bit as it helps to show different counseling methods and models. This week I initially resisted the ideas presented in the book by Dr.Neil Anderson called "The Bondage Breaker". I don't know that he really presents a counseling model, but he does remind us that there is a spiritual battle going in in the believers life and this battle starts in the mind. One of his big ideas is that we are to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ 2 Corinthians 10:5 While I am not endorsing all of the book since I don't believe that believers can be influenced by demons and things like that, I do think that it is a good reminder that what we believe about ourselves is often how we behave. It is also a good reminder that Satan does not want us to understand who we are "in Christ"
