Face your Guilt

This book serves as a good bridge from the psychological to the spiritual. It seems to be the first one of it's kind. It is well researched, but not fatally academic. She shares information gathered from sermons and her practice as a clinical psychologist. What to do with guilt? Catch it, Kill it, Clean it, Cook it, and Cover it. Johnson wants you to treat your guilt with this much vigor. She is right in saying most people passively submit to it, flee it, or fight it. Also, just because you feel guilty it doesn't mean you are, a good point. If you are not "saved" you might learn how to process your guilt from this book if you can tolerate the Bible verses. And yes, modern culture is not helping your guilt with all the commercials, she says. Bible scholars will appreciate her word studies. I never realized that our sins are covered but not forgotten. How can you forgive what you have forgotten? Yes, this book goes against "conventional wisdom". "...blessed is the man whose sin is covered" (Psalm 32:1b)
