Download or read book Biblical Counseling Without Psychology written by Rebekah Prewitt and published by LakeCityCounsel.com. This book was released on with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ministry of counseling is a ministry assigned to the Church. Even though the Lord “hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness,” the Church has been intimidated, swindled, and riddled with the influence of secular psychology and compromised counselors. As a result, she is almost powerless to deal properly with the problems of man. In this practical and one of a kind book which does not draw upon clinical and counseling psychology and psychiatry, the reader will be reintroduced to the pure spiritual means Christ has given to His Church to do the work of counseling. Christians serving or intending to serve in the counseling ministry will find useful answers to topics such as: Qualifications, Training, Authority, and Work of the Biblical Counselor Dealing with Clients Four Types of Clients the Bible Addresses Dealing With Clients Who Are Part of a Cult Arguments Clients Present and How to Handle Them Preparing for Sessions Frequent Cases: Adultery, Unruly Children, Addictions etc. Counseling Under the Authority of the Church Meeting with the Opposite Sex Charging for Counseling Why One Should Not Acquire State Licensure or Join Associations Assessing Clients and much more... May the uncompromising ministry of counseling once again flourish in its simplicity and power through the body of Christ to God’s glory as He intended!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Theology of Christian Counseling connects biblical doctrine with practical living. Salvation, that central concern of Protestant theology, is often too narrowly defined. It is thought of as "being saved from the consequences of sin." But God is doing much more. He is making something new out of the old sinful nature. He is, in Christ, making new creatures. "No counseling system that is based on some other foundation can begin to offer what Christian counseling offers. . . . No matter what the problem is, no matter how greatly sin has abounded, the Christian counselor's stance is struck by the far-more-abounding nature of the grace of Jesus Christ in redemption. What a difference this makes in counseling " In this book the reader will gain an insight into the rich theological framework that supports and directs a biblical approach to counseling. And the connection between solid theology and practical application will become compelling. This book is one-of-a-kind.

Download or read book A Theology of Biblical Counseling written by Heath Lambert and published by Zondervan Academic. This book was released on 2016-04-05 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the beginning of the biblical counseling movement in 1970, biblical counselors have argued that counseling is a ministry of the Word, just like preaching or missions. As a ministry, counseling must be defined according to sound biblical theology rather than secular principles of psychology. For over four decades, biblical theology has been at the core of the biblical counseling movement. Leaders in biblical counseling have emphasized a commitment to teaching doctrine in their counseling courses out of the conviction that good theology leads to good counseling…and bad theology leads to bad counseling. A Theology of Biblical Counseling is a landmark new book that covers the history of the biblical counseling movement, the core convictions that underlie sound counseling, and practical wisdom for counseling today. Dr. Heath Lambert shows how biblical counseling is rooted in the Scriptures while illustrating the real challenges counselors face today through true stories from the counseling room. A substantive textbook written in accessible language, it is an ideal resource for use in training biblical counselors at colleges, seminaries, and training institutes. In each chapter, doctrine comes to life in real ministry to real people, dramatically demonstrating how theology intersects with the lives of actual counselees.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acting on what started as a hunch, Dr. Francis Martin has cataloged well over 20,000 distinct approaches to counseling and psychotherapy that are advertised on the webpages of licensed, practicing mental health providers. No doubt some portion of them are harmful, but the sheer volume of advertised practices and techniques, often with names deceptively similar to actual evidence-based practices, should be cause for concern among all stakeholders in the helping professions - from educators and researchers to policy makers and insurance companies and, especially, consumers. Based on this significant original study, and drawing from other research and supports, Therapy Thieves describes a near-universal crisis in the field and recommends ways to rescue mental health care from itself. The crisis is caused by declining competence among counselors and psychotherapists who have failed to regulate themselves and who, therefore, deliver inadequate - if not harmful - services. In presenting a simple, yet powerful indictment of the field, Dr. Martin advocates for major reforms in several areas of mental health care, including how prospective licensees are trained, supervised and licensed, a major reworking of professional ethics, and the need to establish regulations for mental health care providers. In short, the book calls for major, specific, and urgently needed reforms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Special edition of “Dynamic Biblical Counseling” is dedicated to the American homeowner. The American dream of homeownership that is available to everyone has been sold to the American public; however, not everyone is financially or educationally prepared for home ownership. It seems that the American homeowner has not the education regarding how to prevent foreclosure. Perhaps it is not completely the homeowners fault, because often times unscrupulous and predatory realtors, investors, mortgage companies and even loss mitigation companies have sometimes compounded the problem. This fact, coupled with a lack of education regarding financial budgeting has turned the “American Dream” into an “American Nightmare.” Preventing this nightmare is the purpose of this book and mission of Gold Cross of America.

This book was released on 2023-02-09 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to help people overcome addictions to intoxicants and cope with lifeaEUR(tm)s stresses which make up the substance abuse counseloraEUR(tm)s core mission. Counselors start by evaluating an addicted personaEUR(tm)s physical and mental behaviors, which is the first step in writing an appropriate treatment plan. Depending on the complexity of the problem, a counselor may call in other professionals, such as psychiatrists and social workers. Job prospects are considered greater than average because of a growth in court-ordered referrals to treatment programs. Addiction is an irresistible urge to perform an irrational act and compulsion to dependence. There are 4.2 million pornographic websites, 68 million search engine requests, 42.7 percent of Internet users viewing pornography, and 100,000 websites of pornography. Religious and spiritual features buffer individuals from addictive and risky behaviors. This suggests that religiosity may play a role in beliefs about and the use of pornography. This book will help counselors and experts in the field of Christian counseling education and the interactions they have with clients. Simultaneously, there is certainly room for improvement in the training and preparation of counselors. The purpose of this book is to introduce the topic of training satisfaction, attitude toward pornography, addiction counseling self-efficacy, and the comfort of counselors in discussing sexual issues with clients, particularly Internet pornography.

This book was released on 2012-03-19 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American Association of Christian Counselors and Tyndale House Publishers are committed to ministering to the spiritual needs of people. This book is part of the professional series that offers counselors the latest techniques, theory, and general information that is vital to their work. While many books have tried to integrate theology and psychology, this book takes another step and explores the importance of the spiritual disciplines in psychotherapy, helping counselors to integrate the biblical principles of forgiveness, redemption, restitution, prayer, and worship into their counseling techniques. Since its first publication in 1996, this book has quickly become a contemporary classic—a go-to handbook for integrating what we know is true from the disciplines of theology and psychology and how that impacts your daily walk with God. This book will help you integrate spiritual disciplines—such as prayer, Scripture reading, confession—into your own life and into counseling others. Mark R. McMinn, Ph.D., is professor of psychology at Wheaton College Graduate School in Wheaton, Illinois, where he directs and teaches in the Doctor of Psychology program. A diplomate in Clinical Psychology of the American Board of Professional Psychology, McMinn has thirteen years of postdoctoral experience in counseling, psychotherapy, and psychological testing. McMinn is the author of Making the Best of Stress: How Life's Hassles Can Form the Fruit of the Spirit; The Jekyll/Hyde Syndrome: Controlling Inner Conflict through Authentic Living; Cognitive Therapy Techniques in Christian Counseling; and Christians in the Crossfire (written with James D. Foster). He and his wife, Lisa, have three daughters.

In Developments in Biblical Counseling , J. Cameron Fraser turns a journalistic eye to this question and presents a concise assessment. Introducing us to the formative work of Jay Adams, Fraser outlines several themes of biblical counseling that became foundational for the movement as a whole and observes how the movement received criticisms from outside and made necessary developments from within. He points out that some of these developments have an affinity with Puritan approaches to counseling that Adams rejects but may point in a more consistently biblical direction. Table of Contents: 1.

This book was released on 2011-10-21 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My name is Dr. Pearlie Braswell-Tripp, Ph.D. I do not claim to be an expert in religion, psychology, or counseling, but experience has taught me a lot about all three. 2 Timothy, 2:15 says: “study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of truth.” I was born in 1943 in Rocky Mount, North Carolina into a Christian family. My family was attending the Rock of Ages Holiness Church. My mother, Sister Mary Jones-Braswell played the guitar; my sister, Christine Braswell played the piano and the rest of the family sang. There were seven of us girls. My sisters; Frances, Christine, Doretha, Verna, Margaree and Mary Lee were older. We were known as the Braswell sisters. My father was Lee Braswell, the most handsome man in town. I will never forget the great times we had in Rocky Mount, nor will I forget the great Rock of Ages Holiness Church. Our church was two blocks away from our home. That meant we had no real reason not to go. Many of my other relatives attended Rock of Ages also. My mother’s parents attended and so did her brother and his family. Those were what we now call “The good ole days.” I really loved those days. We traveled around singing the gospel until we left home for New York City in 1961. We were rooted and grounded in religion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marriages are in trouble today. That is clear. Effective mothods of combating this trend are less evident. Counselors, pastors and social workers need more than mere theories or mere moralizing. They need a practical and comprehensive model for understanding couples and their problems. They need a throughly Christian perspective that is biblical, compassionate and human. Everett Worthington provides this in an integrated, biblically based theory of marriage and marriage therapy with analysis at three levels: the individual, the couple and the family. The model he has constructed, with techniques drawn from the major psychological schools, is standard enough to guide counselors in actual interventions and powerful enough to produce change. A thoroughgoing overview of the assessment process includes practical, workable guidelines for: creating realistic, mutually-agreeable goals for counselor and clients; estimating the number of sessions needed to reach those goals; and planning the actual assessment, intervention and termination sessions. Next Worthington offers specific techniques for enhancing cooperative change, intimacy, communication, conflict resolution and forgiveness within the marriage. But keeping couples from slipping back into old patterns is one of the counselor's most difficult tasks. So Worthington concludes with suggestions for solidifying change and effectively concluding the counseling relationship. Here is a text that will be a standard for counselors, pastors and mental health professionals in the years to come.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seasoned counselors and professors Ron Hawkins and Tim Clinton offer a comprehensive guide that empowers Christian counselors by clarifying their task: to help people take possession of their souls... through the power of the Spirit under the authority of the Word in a supportive community of accountability that they may be like Christ The authors address head-on today's enticing new imitations of true peace and tantalizing opportunities for people in pain to anesthetize themselves. But they also highlight the foundation of hope: God loves, he empowers, and he refuses to abandon his passion for connection with his children. Case studies illustrate how to help people take possession of the thinking self, the feeling self, the decision-making self, the physical self, and the relational self. This comprehensive plan for effective intervention is perfect for lay counselors, students, and professionals looking for ways to integrate their faith and practice.
