If Jesus Were a Therapist:Modern Parables for Emotional and Spiritual Health

Was Jesus a therapist? Of course He was and is, because a therapist in the true sense of the word is one who is dedicated to helping people improve their lives by becoming holy and healthy, (which ought to be one and the same). This book is based on the work and personal experience of Phil Hengen, a deacon and a therapist. In 52 short chapters, Phil has Jesus telling modern parables which Phil then uses to explain common sense principles of emotional and spiritual health. A review of the book in The St. Louis Review (August 25, 2006) says that it "is tightly written in simple, straight-forward, conversational prose, the material is spiced with funny and poignant ancedotes." It is a book for everyone, Christian or non-Christian, to read, enjoy and use.
