Demonstrates the “why” and the “how” of consistently biblical, gospel-centric
counseling, whether in the pastor’s study or over coffee with a friend.
With the evermore apparent failure of modern psychotherapies and a discomfort
with pharmacological strategies, many churches are reaffirming the sufficiency
and power of the Scriptures to change lives.
To aid churches in ministering to broken and hurting people, the authors of
Counsel from the Cross present a counseling model based on Scripture,
powered by the work of the Wonderful Counselor, Jesus Christ. Through careful
exegesis and helpful case studies, they demonstrate the “why” and the “how” of
consistently biblical, gospel-centric counseling.
The authors’ combined backgrounds—one, a woman trained in biblical counseling
and the other, a male professor of practical theology—bring balance to this
work, making it relevant for those who counsel as part of pastoral ministry and
for those involved in friendship mentoring or discipleship. |
