Biblical Counseling Quick Reference Guide: Personal and Emotional Issues

They come because you have a reputation for helping hurting people-people just like them. You've been there. You know how they feel because you've faced your own pain, and you "can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort [you] have received from God." You may be a pastor, professional counselor, lay counselor or close friend who understands, but sometimes you could use a little more information about the problems people bring to you. Since the American Association of Christian Counselors began, people have asked us to produce a book full of information about a full range of topics, and they want to be able to access that information at a moment's notice. That's why we created the Biblical Counseling Quick Reference Guide. This volume on "Personal and Emotional Issues" addresses 40 topics, and for each one it identifies: typical symptoms and patterns; definitions and key thoughts; questions to ask; directions for the conversation; action steps; biblical insights; prayer; recommended resources. We hope God uses this book in your ministry to reach out and touch the lives of hurting people.
