Customer Reviews

Great Resource!

This book was the main text for my Christian Life Coaching course and was a great read! It explains lots of different niches within Christian coaching in ways that are simple to understand. At times, I felt like I just wanted to "get to the meat" of the book, but I am always that way and don't like a lot of fluff. Collins gives a good background of coaching, but it just wasn't something I cared much about! Give me the tools to help someone right away! :o) If you are considering becoming a Christian Coach, this is a MUST READ book!

Professional Christian Coaching & Counseling Academy Recommends This Resource

As president and founder of PCCCA, I have had the opportunity to read and review many books on the subject of Christian Life Coaching. This book is by far one of the best resources. If this is your area of interest, I highly recommend it. Sincerely, Leelo-Dianne Bush, PhD.

Excellent Overview of Christian Coaching!

If you're looking for an overview of Christian coaching, as I was, look no further. Collins here provides an excellent treatment of the subject. He defines Christian coaching, offers its benefits, and then distinguishes between its many varieties. Collins has long been a reliable name in the field of Christian counseling. Now he presents a volume describing the broader field of Christian coaching. This book is well-worth the investment of your time AND money!

An Outstanding Resource For Christian Coaches

Collins' book is an outstanding resource for the Christian coach - and for anyone else who works closely with people. His clear writing style and enthusiastic approach to coaching make this volume hard to put down. If you want to know more about coaching, or are considering being coached or becoming a coach, this is a "must read." The appendices at the end of the book are a great resource for coaches - these forms, tools, and questionnaires are worth the cost of the book alone! This book provides a long-awaited and much-needed introduction of the field of coaching to the Christian community. It is sure to have great impact!

Will recommend this book to all my clients!

Being a Christian coach I found this book reflective of the great opportunity that coaching provides. The "return on investment" for most client -- holistically -- is beyond anything we can comprehend! I will be giving this book to all of my clients!It also provides foundational information that can be applied to whatever opportunities and challenges you are facing -- business, growth, balenace, financial, and others. It also applies if you're a CEO of a billion dollar corporation or a stay-at-home mom (which often has a more difficult job than the CEO). Thanks Gary for writing such a dynamic book.
