What happens when someone grows up too fast, and gets the order of life wrong? What happens when this person returns to college as an Old Dog? To the Old Dog, education takes on a very different perspective. Education becomes more meaningful than it may be to someone who is young, and un-jaded by the realities of life. The Old Dog sees life much differently than the idealistic one who views life as it "should be" rather than as it is. When Christian counseling is the focus of the education, the Old Dog has a distinct advantage over the young pups. Old Dog--New Tricks is a collection of essays about the new tricks the author learned while getting a graduate degree in Christian counseling. It discusses topics such as codependency, ADD-ADHD, depression, and even sexual addiction. If you have an interest in human nature, and the foibles of humanity, you will like Old Dog--New Tricks.
