Description

Christian counseling is as old as are the needs of men for direction. It is best called teaching, mentoring, comforting, encouraging, and correcting. The more biblically centered counseling is the more Christian based it becomes. The purpose of this book is to further enable you to be a better servant in comforting, healing, and instructing people who cry out for help. 

This introductory book is divided into three parts of six chapters each. The first part focuses on the Basic Principles in Christian counseling that distinguish it from secular counseling. The second part focuses on Practical Guidelines that, when applied, will enhance the mission of Christian counseling. The third part presents Case Studies in Christian counseling gleaned over many years of experience in helping people.

People who effectively help people have given considerable attention to acquiring sufficient understanding and application of some basic principles. The first twelve chapters of this book define those principles.
