"They leave out a lot of important stuff in Therapy School," Blackstone begins, "like what to do when you're leading group & your skirt falls down." And from there it gets funny.... "The best thing I've read!" (Mary McClure Goulding, MSW, Co-developer of REDECISION THERAPY) "Insightful-delightful!" (Denton Roberts, M.Div., author of ABLE & EQUAL) "This book is a treasure!" (Joan Minninger, Ph.D., author of TOTAL RECALL) "Peg Blackstone has to be the funniest therapist ever to stroke a psyche!" (Patrick McManus, author of A FINE & PLEASANT MISERY). THINGS THEY NEVER TOLD ME IN THERAPY SCHOOL offers a unique, heartwarming look at real psychotherapy. Numerous clinical & personal anecdotes illustrate Blackstone's joy in her work & continuing high regard for clients' strength & resiliency. Her humorous, sensible approach challenges popular myths about therapy & human nature. In this work, Blackstone does for psychotherapy what James Herriott did for veterinary practice in ALL CREATURES GREAT & SMALL. She also prompts readers to examine their fundamental assumptions about human nature. Are people basically "good"? Can they really change in significant ways? Is almost everyone "addicted" or otherwise afflicted without knowing it? Current, entertaining & thought provoking reading.

There is a consensus among many New Testament scholars that much of what the historical Jesus and his apostles taught has been submerged by an influx of post-biblical tradition. Subtle foreign influences, mostly from pagan Greek philosophy, which neither Jesus nor his first-century followers would recognize or endorse, have obscured the original Gospel as Jesus preached it. Most churchgoers accept without question, unbiblical traditions which they have never seriously investigated.In They Never Told Me This in Church! Greg Deuble invites the reader to a careful re-examination of ?the faith once delivered? in the light of the Hebrew heritage which formed the framework of all that Jesus taught in regard to himself and his Gospel mission. From the Foreword: ?This does not mean at all that Greg has given up faith in holy Scripture. Far from it. There is nothing trendy or gimmicky in his approach. Rather, he has learned to read the Bible from its own Hebrew perspective, and shedding a large quantity of traditional baggage has made the Bible all the more brilliant and telling. Because he is an honest student of truth, Greg has been rewarded...with unusual insight. He has a knack of getting to the heart of the issues. He has brought in a wealth of modern scholarly support for his argument, and the quotations gleaned from his wide reading are impressive. He adds a pleasing dose of Aussie humour to his writing while he invites us to re-examine all the major issues of biblical theology. The personal warmth of the author and his pastoral touch are evident in all he writes.?They Never Told Me This in Church! will inspire and challenge all who claim devotion to Jesus, and many who are searching for the meaning of his role in history. They will be enabled to read the Bible with new eyes! The confused state of divided Christendom in our time demands just such an honest and radical investigation.
