McMinn (2011), first place focuses on the counseling office and what take place behind close doors. Secondly the spiritual life of Christian counselors reflecting upon the counselor’s personal lifestyle and his or her task within the counseling sessions. McMinn (2011) also informs the counselors of how he or she should integrate Christian faith into the counseling sessions but not focusing on the relationship between psychology and theology. McMinn focuses on the insight of allowing the client the opportunity to see the integration of the three perspective approaches. The integration of the psychology, theology and spirituality gives the individual the opportunity to identify certain aspects within their lives, which may be enhanced when the counselor includes spirituality within the counseling session.…

    Therefore, we must put together a plan – a disciple making plan that embraces that vision with biblical truths that show the values from which give direction for that vision to follow. The structural and existing means to how this is to be done, also known as the vehicles that enable this to get accomplished must be examined.

    God is the Divine Author of a set of books, songs, narratives and letters that were written as a way for man to draw nearer to Him through His loving Son Jesus the Christ.

What were the events and movements that were influential in the recognition of the canonical books? Furthermore, what methodology was used by the applicable individuals and councils that deemed these 66 books the inspired Word of God?…
