Counseling is a theological discipline. For more that four decades, leaders in the biblical counseling movement have argued that counseling is a ministry of the Word, just like preaching or missions, and as a ministry it must be defined according to sound biblical theology rather than secular principles of psychology.

A Theology of  Biblical Counseling is a landmark new book that unpacks the core theological convictions that underlie sound counseling and offers practical wisdom for counseling today. Dr. Heath Lambert guides readers through the various categories of theology, showing how each one addresses the day-to-day concerns that counselors address. Rich, theological insights are illustrated through powerful stories from within the walls of the counseling room.
