Presence and Truth is a comprehensive counseling system originally written to help Christian students connect their faith while studying counseling theories in graduate programs that may not be sympathetic to the integration of psychology and Christianity. It has evolved into a counseling system that is simple enough for novice people-helpers to learn the basic counseling skills of being present and telling the truth but is pervasive and flexible enough for seasoned people-helpers to use as a strategy for incorporating diverse therapeutic techniques and strategies into one over-arching approach.
