From the Back Cover

ARE YOU A PEOPLE HELPER? Virtually anyone with a desire to help others can be a people helper, says noted Christian psychologist Dr. Gary Collins, but often those Christians who feel most called to counsel are unsure of how to use the Bible to ease another person's problems. The Biblical Basis of Christian Counseling for People Helpers will guide you to a practical, working knowledge of Scripture and the basics of the Christian faith-the core of what Christian counselors must know to be truly effective in helping others. "Most of the problems we encounter in counseling are far too diverse and complex to be solved by quoting a Bible verse or by applying some pat biblical formula," writes Dr. Collins. "But certainly the Bible, God's revelation, gives a number of specific directions and many clear principles that can give us a framework for counseling and can form the basis of our Christian worldview." If you need expert guidance in how to best guide others, turn to Gary Collins. And let The Biblical Basis of Christian Counseling equip you to serve faithfully as a Christian people helper.
