“Counseling and Psychotherapy with Pentecostal and Charismatic Christians by Geoffrey Sutton is a well written, comprehensive, and very helpful guide to understanding and counseling Pentecostal and Charismatic Christians. It is a substantial and unique contribution to Christian counseling and also to the field of counseling and psychotherapy. I highly recommend it as essential reading for everyone interested or involved in counseling Pentecostal Charismatic Christians.”
—Rev. Siang-Yang Tan, PhD, Senior Professor of Psychology,
“As a Pentecostal theologian, I find Geoff Sutton's Counseling and Psychotherapy with Pentecostal Charismatic Christians an exciting, interesting work. Moving beyond a facile integration of Pentecostal and Charismatic identity with the latest counseling theory and practice, it relates them in ways that respect the spirituality and worldview of this historic, unprecedented movement. Further, it offers concrete, informed guidance for clinicians ministering to the mental health needs of clients from this distinctive background. I would think it is a must read not only for Pentecostal and Charismatic counselors but for anyone in the mental health field.”
