Years ago, seeking the help of a professional counsellor was considered the last resort, but now it has become an acceptable and common practice even within the church.
Yet Biblical counsellor is not so Biblical for even Christian psychology has roots in a secular understanding of human nature, an understanding developed by men like Sigmund Freud who never claimed the Bible as a guide for their thinking.
In this clear and in-depth book the author examines the men and the theories behind modern counselling methods and explores their roots in secular philosophy and then goes on to present the Biblical alternative: being equipped with the written word of God and empowered by the Holy Spirit we are to point the lost to the Saviour and encourage each other towards maturity and fullness in Christ.
