If we are not to define people by their deficits, how can we organize our understanding of them? The concept of competence provides a conceptual replacement for the medical model ... Beginning with the idea that most symptoms represent adaptive attempts gone awry, a competence approach develops the healthy urges that reside within symptoms and helps clients organize around those instead of around the problems themselves ... Courage, hope, vision, and other concepts not usually treated in psychotherapy are taken seriously and developed as important aspects of treatment. Ultimately, this approach offers people a direct, positive challenge to find and develop the best that is in them.\"--Jacket.\n\nPublished in: NEWYORK\n\nPhysical description: vi, 158 pages ; 25 cm","bookEdition":null,"offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"item":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Book","name":"Confronting Christ","author":"Trueblood E.","isbn":null,"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Word Books"},"datePublished":"1960","inLanguage":"English","description":"Published in: Texas\n\nPhysical description: xi, 180p; 18cm","bookEdition":null,"offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"item":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Book","name":"Conversational evangelism \/ David Geisler, Norman Geisler.","author":"Geisler, D.; Geisler, N.","isbn":"0736950834","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Harvest House Publishers"},"datePublished":"2009","inLanguage":"English","description":"Contents: \tThe need for pre-evangelism in a postmodern world -- Introduction to conversational evangelism -- Learning the role of the musician -- Learning the role of the artist -- Learning the role of the archaeologist -- Learning the role of the builder -- The art of answering objections while moving forward -- The art of asking questions of people with different worldviews -- Countering common misconceptions that affect evangelism.\r\n\r\nAbstract:  \"As our culture's awareness of basic Christian principles has changed, so have the needs of pre-believers.
