Excellent

Walter Trobisch was a master of the heart and mind. His gentleness, patience, and wise way of helping people through difficult issues without using easy fixes is a model of Jesus' counseling. An example is "My Beautiful Feeling," about a teenage girl struggling with masturbation. Rather than condemn her, he goes to the root issue - her soul thirst - just like Jesus did in Jn 4 with the Samaratin women. Jesus did not condemn her for her adultry, but offered her living water to fill her thirsty soul. Fill the soul and the behavior will, in most cases, take care of itself. This was Trobisch's way, too. I am a professional counselor today because of reading Walter Trobisch when I was a teenager many years ago. I say a beauty in helping people with the deep problems facing us in a way that was profound, yet gentle and like our Lord. I cannot recommend this any more than that - Walter Trobisch is a model counselor because he models Jesus. rjd

I don't believe I've ever read a more eloquent dissertation written on love, faith, or marriage. This isn't just a typical "self-help" book. This book opens your eyes and shows you that love, faith, and marriage are much larger, much more fragile, much more precious, and much more rewarding than most of us have ever imagined. God bless Walter and his wife Ingrid for this amazing collection! I really hope that it will get republished, because used copies are few and hard to come by.
