A former general director of Overseas Missionary Fellowship analyzes the wear and tear of Christian experience and service. He argues that "complex strains and problems ... find their answers not in tranquilizers or stimulants but in a correct understanding and application of scriptural principles." Despondency, conscience, discipleship, the missionary call, the why of suffering -- these and other important topics undergo careful diagnosis in A Spiritual Clinic. This book not only points out the symptoms of spiritual weakness; it also offers prescriptions for the believer's recovery and growth. Here is a helpful, Bible-based guide to maturity and sanity, a thorough handbook of healthy Christian living. - Back cover.
