The Language of Love by Gary Smalley and John Trent, PhD. (Bad Fruit)

SeekGod.ca Discerns Smalley’s Teachings (near the end of article)
article excerpt: “Smalley, Gary >> Gary Smalley > NavPress author, focuses on counseling, most writings exclude the use of Scripture and focus on humanist psychology and often contrary to Scripture ideas to deal with relationships. Smalley conducts family seminars through his Today’s Family. Smalley has been a leading proponent of right-brain/left-brain pseudoscience aka myth, which claimed to describe personality types by brain hemisphere dominance. Disproved by neuroscientists as well as zero scriptural basis, it claimed to give insights to male/female communication effectiveness.
The popularization of this ‘stuff’ was due to The Language of Love, co-authored by Gary Smalley and fellow psychologist, John Trent and which was published and promoted by Dr. James Dobson’s Focus on the Family Publishing. Smalley and Trent have been frequent guests on Dobson’s radio program. In Winning the War Within, Smalley and Trent endorsed an even more widely accepted myth, that of low self-esteem as being the cause of most of our problems. Apparently “all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God” is not really the issue to be concerned with. Gary Smalley has been a frequent speaker, promoter and writer for Promise Keepers.”

Grace is for Sinners by Serena Woods (Bad Fruit)
Biblical Resources:
One reviewer at Amazon wrote, “[It] is neck and neck with The Shack…Grace Is For Sinners helped me see and show love & grace in a such a new way. I don’t have the glasses of judgement on anymore. I don’t have the glasses of religiosity on anymore. I don’t have the glasses of self-condemnation on anymore. I’m looking out of a new pair of glasses that shows that Jesus loves me & you no matter our past, present, or future sins.” -YIKES!!!
