Nouthetic "Admonishment"

I plan to discuss in fuller detail my NANC class, once the first semester has completed. However, I thought I'd give you this quote, from the footnotes of The Christian Counselor's Manual.

A realistic self-evaluation is good but impossible for those who do not have the Bible for their yardstick. Self-acceptance is possible only in Christ, in whome God accepts forgiven sinners. Yet a realistic self-evaluation can lead only to a non-acceptance of oneself and the determination that he must repent and be changed.
