Mobile’s Fred Wolfe stated that this work “is a beneficial guide for all Christians called to counsel, including pastors, lay people and professionals.” Sullins stated that “the purpose of this book is to help counselors as they pursue their work with the sheep of His pastures and those who may be wondering, ‘How is this ever going to work?’” This reviewer thinks that she realized her goal.
