by Charles R. Solomon
Building on his second book, The Ins and Out of Rejection, Dr. Solomon parallels the topics of acceptance and identity in showing God’s answer in Christ to the lack of meaningful love and misplaced identity. In centuries gone by, believers practiced spiritual direction or mentoring for those in defeat and experiencing difficulty in life before the onslaught of psychology and the church’s near capitulation to it in the last half of this century. In 1967, God called him to revive such teaching in a counseling format under the name, Spirituotherapy, which has become generally known as exchanged life counseling. He pioneered the approach and founded Grace Fellowship International (GFI) now based in Pigeon Forge, TN as a vehicle for spiritual ministry and training others. The approach is detailed in his third book, Handbook for Christ-Centered Counseling.
