Christian Counselor's Manual, The

Summary: From wise and prolific hand of Jay Adams
Review: It all started in 1970, when Jay Adams courageously stood against the mental health establishment and proved from God's Word, the Bible, that believers who studied His Word were "competent to counsel" fellow believers, and that we did not need to rely on "psychology" to change peoples' hearts and their behavior! He completes what I would call a "trilogy" of biblical counseling books, with this book (the 1st was Competent to Counsel, the 2nd was A Theology of Christian Counseling). He also has written over 60 books that relate to counseling and living more godly lives. Every pastor should be familiar with Adams' works, and if they don't agree with him they should re-examine their viewpoint. This is an excellent manual of biblical counseling!
