Brian Thorne is Co-founder and Professional Fellow at TheNorwich Centre for Personal, Professional and SpiritualDevelopment, Emeritus Professor of Counselling at the University ofEast Anglia, and a Lay Canon of Norwich Cathedral. Thorne is aninternationally recognised figure in the field of person-centredtherapy, and was a close colleague of Carl Rogers.
It is well written: clearly, humorously, honestly, andempathically. We owe Thorne an enormous debt for courageouslyopening his heart, mind, and soul to share the truth about a lovingGod walking with his people. It has been a privilege to review abook that amounts to his magnum opus, and I hope I have doneit justice. (Church Times, 18 October 2013) This is a Brian Thorne reader , and is to becommended to all therapists of all theoretical orientations. (Therapy Today, September 2013)
