This is a critical book analysis that provides a realistic review about the book of Adams entitled How to Help People Change . Included in this article are explanations about whether theology counseling should indeed base on the scripture of the bible itself which seems to be systematic to create a change that would be accepted by

God

This article somehow opposed to the author 's other ideologies but often agreed with some of the ideologies such as to create a real change within one 's self , one should put God in between his /her decision making and consider God in every action as much as making the change from the bottom of a person 's heart which will make it real and accepted by God

Psychology / Theology Counseling Models Critique

A theory critique explains how a concept of representation of a person 's mentality helps a certain individual to comprehend the world in for a certain individual to learn how to act and interact with the world . This statement serves as an example of the situation wherein a certain individual notices a certain thing such as computer and that person will therefore seek a manual of the computer 's function in for him /her to learn how to use the device

Adams ' book How to Help People Change depicts the theory critique that in for people to act in to show good or kindness , but also he /she must learn to change his heart towards the God to could accept . Exemplified in the book of Adams is that when a certain person does bad and changed himself by stopping in doing his bad act and the act causes good result to his neighbor 's side but then he did it for the sake of changing , the change is not considered a one 's self ADDIN EN .CITE Adams19861 144Jay E AdamsHow to Help People Change : The Four-step Biblical Process 81-Xhttp /books .google .com /books ?id nTpknW5pYaM C dq critique of how to help people change pg PA40 ots vFsls YUFbQ sig UHznaVfq0vsNWAfoleq7BXRsUkM prev http /www .google .com /search 3Fq 3Dcritique 2Bof 2Bhow 2Bto 2Bhelp 2Bpeople 2Bchange 26btnG 3 DSearch 26hl 3Den 26client 3Dfirefox-a 26channel 3Ds 26rls 3Dorg .mozilla 253Aen-US 253Aofficial 26hs 3Dr6b sa X oi print ct result a mp cd 1 PPR2 ,M1 (Adams , 1986

According to the book , in to or she should consider two great aspects which are included in the ten commandments of God which is stated as 1 ) Thou shalth love God with all thy heart and soul and 2 ) Thou shalth love thy neighbor the way you love God and your self . This explains that if you do the change with your whole heart sincerely , then the change is therefore accepted by God

As Adams explained the works on Christian Counseling , he said that a couple should always be in a three-way relationship in to maintain their proper relationship . This three-way relationship is mediated by their love for God . Adams also explained that if a certain couple could not get through their downs and creates an improper relationship to God the result will be that their relationship would not be in a good situation ADDIN EN .CITE Adams19861 144Jay E AdamsHow to Help People Change : The Four-step Biblical Process 81-Xhttp /books .google .com /books ?id nTpknW5pYaM C dq critique of how to help people change pg PA40 ots vFsls YUFbQ sig UHznaVfq0vsNWAfoleq7BXRsUkM prev http /www .google .com /search 3Fq 3Dcritique 2Bof 2Bhow 2Bto 2Bhelp 2Bpeople 2Bchange 26btnG 3 DSearch 26hl 3Den 26client 3Dfirefox-a 26channel 3Ds 26rls 3Dorg .mozilla 253Aen-US 253Aofficial 26hs 3Dr6b sa X oi print ct result a mp cd 1 PPR2 ,M1 (Adams , 1986

A tempt for change of a certain couple without the presence of God will result to an ineffective change . This discusses the reality that in to create a change which is biblically acceptable , one should consider the aspect of human 's relationship toward both God and man ADDIN EN .CITE Adams19861 144Jay E AdamsHow to Help People Change : The Four-step Biblical Process 81-Xhttp /books .google .com /books ?id nTpknW5pYaM C dq critique of how to help people change pg PA40 ots vFsls YUFbQ sig UHznaVfq0vsNWAfoleq7BXRsUkM prev http /www .google .com /search 3Fq 3Dcritique 2Bof 2Bhow 2Bto 2Bhelp 2Bpeople 2Bchange 26btnG 3 DSearch 26hl 3Den 26client 3Dfirefox-a 26channel 3Ds 26rls 3Dorg .mozilla 253Aen-US 253Aofficial 26hs 3Dr6b sa X oi print ct result a mp cd 1 PPR2 ,M1 (Adams , 1986 . This book criticizes the counseling made by most couples which often do not procure the presence of their relationship with God Couples are often counseled without referring to God or without considering God in between the relationship

With regards to the author 's statement about counseling certain couples it is indeed agreeable that God should be considered in every decision they tend to make in for them to obtain a peaceful and heart overwhelming change without being hypocrite to one another by creating a change for the sake of others and /or for the sake of their relationship In addition to this , if God is not going to be included in a certain relationship , how could man learn to love another of his kind ? It would be necessary to put God in between a certain relationship in to learn how to show a real respect and love for another person

In Adams ' book there was also written about the II Timothy found in the bible scripture which is explained broadly by evangelism and sanctification wherein Adams explained that by not abiding the certain steps provided in this scripture , the result will be that problems could occur in such a way that it will cause chaos or conflict ADDIN EN .CITE Adams19861 144Jay E AdamsHow to Help People Change : The Four-step Biblical Process 81-Xhttp /books .google .com /books ?id nTpknW5pYaM C dq critique of how to help people change pg PA40 ots vFsls YUFbQ sig UHznaVfq0vsNWAfoleq7BXRsUkM prev http /www .google .com /search 3Fq 3Dcritique 2Bof 2Bhow 2Bto 2Bhelp 2Bpeople 2Bchange 26btnG 3 DSearch 26hl 3Den 26client 3Dfirefox-a 26channel 3Ds 26rls 3Dorg .mozilla 253Aen-US 253Aofficial 26hs 3Dr6b sa X oi print ct result a mp cd 1 PPR2 ,M1 (Adams , 1986

Criticizing this explanation from Adams , a certain change will not be considered accepted change if the goal is motivated by rules and procedures . It is indeed right to put God in between the critical situation but this could be done even by being unconscious with the rules provided by the systematic bible scripture

As an example , if a couple want to resolve their problem and they still do love one another , they could put God in between before making a decision by thinking that God was the one who bonded them together and that God was a witness of their love for one another that would be enough for the couple to critically think how to consider and resolve their situation

Considering the four steps from the bible is like teaching the certain couple what to do and not letting them decide for the change , meaning they are motivated and are not being fully hearted willing for the change they tend to do

On the other hand , the author has the point when he stated that biblical scriptures do have everything that a person need in to be counseled and /or enlightened about a certain critical problem that he /she wanted to be resolved but then people do not have all the biblical scripture in him /her ' which explains that in fact the bible have the power or the ability to cause the change that a certain human need if and only if he /she has it in his /her heart and he or she do not abide the bible because it is sacred ' but because they wanted to respond to what their heart tell them such as to abide certain commands by God

Contrary to the other points of Adams ' statement , counseling basing on biblical scripture would be fine and in fact effective such as to knowing whether the problem is considerable or not , hence if the one who would do the counseling will base and abide everything which is written in the bible including systematic ways as to seemingly imposing the individuals being counseled what to do the outcome will not be considered as a true human or true people change

Therefore counseling made is created through unconsciously considering bible scriptures in to explain the preaching of God . In addition to this , people know God by heart and people also know how to consider God 's presence by involving God in every aspect of human life References
