Thanks for your response. I appreciate it.

We were in a church where Scazzero’s EHS was taught and his teaching did a lot of damage. Please continue to encourage others to be discerning when it comes to his teaching.

“Inclusion in the library does not necessarily mean endorsement of contents. We often have to buy books to help students with specialist theses and also to train students to think critically.”

No recommendation is involved. In counseling classes, we have to train students to read discerningly and think critically – abilities you seem to have been blessed with as well.

With all due respect, I believe you should not recommend any of Scazerro’s works. I believe he is a heretic, blending elements of psychology and eastern mysticism with a poor hermeneutic whose teaching vividly runs up against Col 2:23 as well as implicitly (explicitly?) denying Christ’s work of advocacy for us before the throne of God (1 John 2:1, Heb. 8:1-6) and the fact that all of God’s promises are yes in Him (2 Cor1:15-22)

In his book, Emotionally Healthy Spirituality, he gives us fallacious arguments made to look like they are the result of a proper exegesis of the Bible. But in fact, he has twisted the Bible to make us believe that his principles and practices come from the Bible and therefore if we do what he says, we can deal with, even surmount and conquer, our fleshly indulgences.

I have not read, The Emotionally Health Leader, but the title makes me believe he is still promulgating his lies, lies that are grounded in the elementary principles of this world and as such have nothing more than the appearance of wisdom, a will-worship by its very nature arbitrarily imposed by a man: a man who has been guided more in his thinking by the likes of Freud and Buddha, than by Christ and His apostles.

I believe his methods will not result in any kind of sanctification that God is calling for and furthermore these methods will draw us away from knowing the fullness of Christ’s love for us (Eph. 3.14-21)
