I appreciate the content provided, but I'm a bit confused about who the target audience is in this piece. The methodologies employed by the Puritans in regard to soul care were dependent on accepting the fact that Christ is alive and active in us, working through His Spirit. Attempting these techniques from a purely secular standpoint is likely to not result in much value. "Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure." (Phil 2:12-13)
