Edward T. Welch guides small groups through 8 lessons aimed at
helping ordinary Christians create a community where people bear
one another's burdens and care for each other in times of trouble.
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.
A worship disorder: this is how Edward T. Welch views addictions.
"Will we worship ourselves and our own desires, " he writes, "or
will we worship the true God?" With this lens the author discovers
far more in Scripture on addictions than passages on drunkenness.
There we learn the addict's true condition: like guests at a
banquet thrown by "the woman Folly, " he is already in the grave
(Prov. 9:13-18). Can we not escape our addictions? If we're willing
to follow Jesus, the author says we have "immense hope hope in
God's forgiving grace, hope in God's love that is faithful even
when we are not, and hope that God can give power so that we are no
longer mastered by the addiction." Each chapter concludes with
"Practical Theology, " guidance "As You Face Your Own Addictions"
and "As You Help Someone Else."
Written by a prominent biblical counselor, this practical book
aimed at everyday Christians will equip readers with the tools they
need to wisely walk alongside one another in the midst of life's
struggles.

People are complex. There is behavior that we see and motives that
we don?t. Behind the ?what we do? of our lives is the ?why we do
it.? Edward T. Welch challenges us to peer more closely into the
?why.? He insightfully reveals that, according to God's Word, the
heart is the source of all human motivation. Our hearts contain
motives such as Pleasure, Meaning, Comfort, Success, Freedom,
Respect, Happiness, Power, Control, Peace, Reputation,
Love/Intimacy Welch encourages us to ask questions to discover some
of our deeper motives: ?What do you hope for, want, crave? ?What do
you fear? What do you worry about? ?When do you say, ?If only??
Running Scared, an examination of the biblical roadmap to a life of
peace and security, is written for those who appreciate a
comprehensive analysis written in conversational prose.
I hate it. I love it. Sometimes our desires can be cruel lovers. We
think we should be rid of a particular desire, but we feel stuck.
?What's the use in trying to rid my life of this desire?? we ask
ourselves. ?I?ve tried, but there's just no way out for me.? Or is
there? The problem may be more complicated than just being stuck.
Might there be a path to true change? (If so, would you want to
take that path?) Edward T. Welch may surprise you with his answer.
Along the way he will introduce you to someone with words of
comfort and hope you may never have heard before.
This meditative and devotional book traces iterations of the
priestly job description throughout the Bible, helping believers
discover their identity as royal priests who were created to draw
near to God.

Research suggests that more and more behaviors are caused by brain
function or dysfunction. But is it ever legitimate to blame
misbehavior on the brain? How can I know whether ?My brain made me
do it?? Viewing brain problems through the lens of Scripture,
Edward T. Welch distinguishes genuine brain disorders from problems
rooted in the heart. Understanding that distinction will enable
pastors, counselors, families, and friends to help others-or
themselves-deal with personal struggles and responsibilities. While
focusing on a few common disorders, Dr. Welch lays out a series of
practical steps adaptable to a wide range of conditions, habits, or
addictions.
This book shines the life-giving light of the gospel on the things
that leave us feeling shame, directing our attention to the God who
promises to forgive and restore us-no matter what.

a big word for the little-by-little progress of the everyday
Christian life

alone. God loves to work the miracle of sanctification within us as
we struggle for daily progress in holiness. With contributions from
Kevin DeYoung, John Piper, Ed Welch, Russell Moore, David Mathis,
and Jarvis Williams, this invigorating book will help you say no to
the deception of sin and yes to true joy in Jesus.
