Trevor R. Summerlin – författare

The book addresses the conflict between the all-sufficiency of the Word of God and the use of psychological principles. It tackles the challenge of why counselling is often ineffective. It provides a practical model for developing good practice in all forms of counselling and psychotherapy.The book will be of great interest to all ministers and church leaders, to everyone who is a counsellor or would like to be a counsellor, and to anyone who may be thinking about consulting a counsellor.

This book draws on Trevor’s experience in both Christian and secular organisations to look at different patterns for leadership and he explains the necessity for every leader to model a clear strategy for their work. He outlines 8 different philosophical approaches, he identifies 14 potentially destructive attitudes that should be avoided, he highlights 10 major qualities by which every leader should seek to measure themselves, and he includes a massive resource in his bibliography.The book is essential reading for every person in any leadership role, whether in business, industry, education or commerce, for every church leader, for every leader in a charity or voluntary organisation, for every person contemplating a position of leadership, and for every person who is following someone else’s leading. Trevor explains that every organisation would benefit from appointing leaders who accept and understand how to apply these key principles of Christian Leadership.
