Martin and Deidre, Thanks for sending me that book! I love your ideas. I gave it to our pastor who does the personal ministry for our church. I really appreciate your ministry. That book review you published in your latest newsletter was excellent. Minnesota Pastor |

Dear Martin & Deidre, Thank you for your book called Person to Person Ministry: Soul Care in the Body of Christ. We are half way through it. I read about 5-10 pages per night at the dinner table to my husband and daughter. Through your newsletters (which I also read out loud at the dinner table) and books, we truly understand how spiritually empty the problem-centered counseling system is. We have also watched and appreciated all of Dr. Bobgan’s DVDs of his talks at the "School of Theology 2008." And we pray for your ministry. North Dakota |

Dear Martin & Deidre Hello, my dear friends. Just finished Person to Person Ministry. Great job! I loved it. It really is going to be a great help to me. As you can imagine there are big time problems in here. Lots of broken hearts. Lots of bitter pasts, etc., etc. It can get overwhelming if a minister falls into the trap of focusing on problems. The list of questions on page 179 really puts things in perspective. I’m going to give that list to all my Bible study guys so they can start to look at things in a Christ-centered way. Your book glorifies Christ. Thanks for all you do for the saints. Prisoner |

Dear Martin and Deidre, I just finished reading Person to Person Ministry. It is a great book. When I was involved in counseling alcoholics and drug addicts, it never felt right somehow. I knew I had a tremendous amount of power over the clients’ lives. They were forced to be there because the court system sent them there, or to save their marriage, to stay out of jail or to keep their jobs. Some, but not the majority wanted to stay sober and clean, but they would develop unhealthy dependencies on the counselor because of the nature of the counseling program. It was frustrating, ineffective, and extremely expensive. I sincerely cared about people, I had compassion and empathy. Like so many others who had problems with alcohol, I was pushed into becoming a counselor. It seemed a perfect job for me. After reading this book, I can understand why I felt the way I did. The work that I did with people was not God’s way of helping people. It was playing God in their lives. New York |

Please accept my enclosed token of appreciation for your generosity and scriptural insights. California |

Hello Martin & Deidre, Thanks for your newsletter. Your article on Voice of the Martyrs was very well done and appreciated. I’ve never had anything to do with the organization, but have certainly heard of them over the years. Your concluding comments in your article struck a chord with me. We have been studying the book of Galatians in our home assembly, and "another gospel" was the very problem the Galatians were heading into. The full realization of the exclusivity of God’s truth is beginning to sink in. The truth of God’s word plus ANYTHING is another gospel, which, as Paul puts it, is to "pervert the gospel of Christ" (Galatians 1:7). As soon as we add anything to the truth of God’s Word, we have destroyed His Truth. When Harold Ockenga announced that New Evangelicalism would dialogue with the liberals and would turn their backs on Biblical separation, he, and everyone who was with him, clearly set the stage for the infiltration of many heresies, including psychotherapies. This announcement and the triple onslaught by Christianity Today, Fuller Seminary, and Billy Graham have seen the infiltration of a tremendous amount of error into the evangelical community and a dramatic rise in ecumenicity. Unfortunately, evangelicalism, as a whole, is not even aware that they are holding to another gospel, a perversion of God’s truth. Thanks for your expose—this is such a vital thing in this day of unrecognized compromise. As you hold tenaciously to the truth, you will undoubtedly find yourself in an increasingly unpopular position, but Jesus did not call us to popularity with anyone, but to abide in Him! Canada |

Dear Martin and Deidre Bobgan, Regarding Person to Person Ministry, it is such a shame there is not sufficient teaching, like yours, concerning sanctification and how this works within each born again believer who is willing to be conformed into the image of Christ Jesus by the word of God by the Holy Spirit. I am thankful to finally find specific explication and teaching on this, what with today’s focus in and out of the church on ungodly psychology. Further, so many in and out of the church are involved in the helping fields which are growing today, not to mention all the social services which so many avail themselves from a myriad of sources, such that the social sciences have insidiously invaded and pervaded most people’s lives, having crept in unawares in times of need when they were not mature in the Lord.

To Martin Bobgan: I finished reading Person to Person Ministry and it is excellent! The first part is the clearest, simplest and most concise explanation of what is wrong with the whole realm of psychology that I have ever read. The second part clearly details what is wrong with "Problem Centered" counseling. The last part is an excellent explanation of how to minister to someone else, but even more importantly, it shows the reader how to deal with problems large and small in our own lives. Wyoming |
