Today we face a tremendous weakening of confidence in the Bible. This is just as true for the pastor offering counsel in his office as it is for the person in the pew talking with a struggling friend at Starbucks or the small group leader who is unsure of what to say to a hurting group member.

Scripture and Counseling helps us regain our confidence in God's Word as sufficient to address the real life issues we face today. It also helps us understand how the Bible equips us to grow in counseling competence as we use it to tackle the complex issues of life.

Part of the Biblical Counseling Coalition series, this book brings you the wisdom of twenty ministry leaders and blends theological wisdom with practical expertise. It is accessible to pastors, church leaders, counseling practitioners, and students, equipping them to minister the truth and power of God's Word in the context of biblical counseling, soul care, spiritual direction, pastoral care, and small group facilitation.
