Endorsements"One of my continuing frustrations has been trying to persuade Bible-believing Christians that not only do they not need psychotherapy, it is in fact a religion destructive to the teachings of the Word of God. I grew up in the psychiatric community, my father having been a psychiatrist and a director of mental hospitals through all of my formative years. My understanding of psychotherapy, therefore, came by osmosis, as well as later by academic and personal study. From that exposure, and after becoming an evangelical Christian, it was easy to recognize the corruptive synthesis of psychology with biblical teachings which continues to flood the church. Convincing most evangelicals as to the harm of such an amalgamation regarding their life in Christ, however, too often seems like trying to hold back a riptide. Therefore, I welcome this book written by the Bazlers. From Lisa's education and background as a psychotherapist and Ryan's understanding of the Scriptures for ministering, Psychology Debunked presents "been there, done that" clinical experience in sharp contrast with the truth of how God would have us minister to one another in dealing with the problems of life. I would encourage anyone who thinks there is any hope whatsoever in psychotherapy to read this very informative book."
------------------------------------------------------------ "I commend this excellent book to all believers in Jesus Christ--especially those who are involved in church leadership and those who desire to be greatly used of the Lord. The instruction on how to live a victorious and fruitful Christian life reflects the primary themes of Scripture: exaltation of Christ, confidence in His fully sufficient word and reliance upon the work of the Holy Spirit. The warnings about the worldly, self-centered wisdom of man take serious the biblical injunction to "content earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints" (Jude 3). May God greatly bless you, Ryan and Lisa, and every hungry disciple who reads your book!"
------------------------------------------------------------ "Lisa and Ryan Bazler, the authors of Psychology Debunked, have done a bold and courageous thing--they have taken on the entire field of modern psychology! In so doing, they have made a tremendous contribution to the world in general and to the Christian community in particular. Armed with biblical truth, they strip bare the claims of psychology, exposing harmful deceptions and empty promises. With careful research and documentation, they reveal that the theories and answers offered by psychology are actually the antithesis of God's Word. And they clarify why psychology and the Bible are totally incompatible... The Bazlers demonstrate that there is no common ground between the practice of secular or Christian psychology and the practice of biblical principles. In short, they debunk the claims of modern psychology and point readers to the only true source for overcoming life--the person of Jesus Christ.
