This resource, written by late counselor David Powlison, seeks to
gracefully and humbly encourage pastors to think of counseling as a
relational and pastoral task focused on the care and cure of the
souls of God's people.
Essays by a highly regarded biblical counselor. Some of these
pieces exegete Scripture with a counseling perspective, while
others recast specific "psychological" problems.
Where Is God?
There are never quick fixes or easy answers when it comes to suffering. But even when we can't immediately see God's hand--when the struggle is hard and painful--he is working. Weaving together Scripture, personal stories, and the words of the classic hymn "How Firm a Foundation," David Powlison brings an experienced counselor's touch to exploring how God enters into our sufferings, helping us see God working in our own particular struggles--and discover how God's grace goes deeper than we could ever imagine.
Weaving together personal stories, biblical exposition, and
theological reflection, David Powlison highlights the personal and
particular means God uses to make us more like Jesus.
This book holds out hope in the midst of sexual brokenness: the
grace and mercy of Jesus, supplying true, lasting mercy to both the
sexually immoral and the sexually victimized.
The Bible has a way of shocking us. If Americans could still
blush, we might blush at the words, "Rejoice in the wife of your
youth, a lovely deer, a graceful doe. Let her breasts fill you at
all times with delight; be intoxicated always in her love"
(Proverbs 5:18-19).
But, of course, sin always tries to trash God's gifts. So we
can't just celebrate sex for what God made it to be; we have to
fight what sin turned it into. The contributors to this unique
volume encourage you to do both: celebrate and struggle.
This book has something for all-men and women, married and
single-from contributors like John Piper, C. J. and Carolyn
Mahaney, Mark Dever, Al Mohler, Carolyn McCulley, and others.
?Private sexual fantasy can preoccupy vast areas of a person's
mental life, ? notes David Powlison. ?As explicit sexual images
proliferate in films and magazines, on television, and over the
Internet, the temptations increase and the bondage seems
unbreakable. Even Christians can find that their lives have become
a push-pull stuggle between indulging in fantasy and resisting it.?
?Is it really possible to slay the dragon of pornography and
fantasy once it has gained control of your life?? asks Powlison.
The answer is yes, as you will see from this interview with a man
called Bob, who experienced Christ's deliverance in this part of
his life.
