God's Justice or Ungodly Revenge?
 Dr. Dan Allender's Bold Love is a follow-up to his book The Wounded Heart. It is based on a generally good biblical principle, confronting the sins of others in love in order to restore them.
The paper God's Justice or Ungodly Revenge? describes how Allender fails to consider the crucial role of the church in confronting the sins of others, leaving "bold love" primarily to individuals who perceive themselves as victims.

Christ-Esteem or Self-Esteem: What is the Real Problem?
 Christ Esteem by Don Matzat is frequently recommended as a biblical alternative to the psychological literature emphasizing self-esteem.
The book has many excellent points concerning sin, self-examination, renewal of the mind, and crucifixion with Christ. However, as the paper Christ-Esteem or Self-Esteem: What is the Real Problem? points out, there are weaknesses in the author's position on Scripture, as well as his focus on "identity crisis."

Hiding from Judgment
 Hiding from Love by Dr. John Townsend
This book is rooted in an unbiblical view of man as fundamentally a victim rather than a sinner. The author abuses the original languages of the Bible to support his Freudian orientation. The critique Hiding from Judgment shows how man's "hiding patterns" are rooted in his fear of God's judgment.
