Review Quotes: More than twenty-five years ago, I read the first edition of Blame It on the Brain? as I began my journey into studying and teaching biblical counseling. It was a good book then--full of useful observations and quotes. I paraphrased and taught them. One such was that, when it comes to taking medication, "The question is more 'Is it wise?' than 'Is it wrong or right?'" This weekend I read the new edition and found the old quote. Tonight as I counseled, things I'd read found their way into the counseling process. This new edition is full of good observations and things to quote! And it is a very good book.--Charles Hodges, Counselor and Instructor, Faith Biblical Counseling Ministry, Lafayette, Indiana; Author and Editor, The Christian Counselor's Medical Desk Reference
