1 Corinthians 11:13 (NIV) states, "When I was a child, I talked like a child; I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me."

By examining our "hidden parts," we are able to locate and put away our childish ways, thus realizing that we are God's children and belong to Him (John 1:12, 1 Peter 2:9). This essay will attempt to discuss the effects of abuse and review the biblical counseling methods of Sandra D. Wilson.

This author only wishes he could have read this book twenty-five years ago, life would have been so much simpler. We
