If the church is going to use the Bible to decide whether divorce
is legitimate in certain cases and whether divorced couples have
the right to remarry with the approval and blessing of God's
people, then the Bible must be studied without prejudice toward a
particular answer. The author examines the relevant passages in
both the Old and New Testaments so that his readers can consider
the many issues and interpretations that arise in trying to
establish a consistently biblical position. As a result, readers
can see more clearly and accept more firmly the truth of Scripture.
The book succeeds at being exactly what the author wanted it to be:
"a comprehensive, lucid, accurate study presented in a readable and
practical style. . . ." It is a valuable resource for the pastor,
counselor, church leader, and others who are struggling to
understand and apply scriptural principles to the problems of
divorce and remarriage.
"While touching on many aspects of counseling, this book . . . is specifically designed to elucidate the process of counseling. I have often mentioned and illustrated that process, but not in the focused and systemic way that the four-step biblical process is set forth here. . . . This book presents a fresh perspective not only on how to counsel, but also on what measures to take at what stages of counseling."-Jay Adams, from the preface Change is the essential goal of the counseling process. And, in the author's words, "substantial change requires the alteration of the heart." How can a Christian counselor facilitate such change? The answer, of course, may be found in Scripture, specifically in 2 Timothy 3:14-17. Jay Adams is a well-known counselor who bases his whole approach on Scripture. This book provides an unparalleled opportunity to see how he discovers and applies biblical principles as well as the way in which Scripture functions as the basis for his counseling approach. This book answers two questions: "How does a counselor help people change?" and, "How does Scripture provide the source of a counselor's method?" How to Help People Change has much to say about the ongoing discussion of the relationship between theology and psychology in the enterprise of Christian counseling.
Shepherding God s Flock is both a textbook for students of pastoral
ministry and a handbook for pastors. Jay Adams is well-known for
his practical and thorough approach to the many issues of Christian
counseling. That same practicality and thoroughness is found in
this unparalleled handbook on pastoral ministry. Not only does it
offer pastors one of the best resources in print, but it also
provides church elders with an orientation and practical guide to
aspects of ministry for which they have responsibility. It is truly
a shepherd s handbook. The book is divided into three parts.
Pastoral Life deals with the pastor, his calling, and the general
care he provides the flock. Pastoral Counseling provides an
overview of the task and a general approach for pastoral
counselors. Pastoral Leadership offers a perspective on the ways
the pastor can lead the church in its many tasks and
responsibilities."
The Christian Counselor s Manual is a companion and sequel to the
author s influential Competent to Counsel. It takes the approach of
nouthetic counseling introduced in the earlier volume and applies
it to a wide range of issues, topics, and techniques in counseling:
*Who is qualified to be a counselor? *How can counselees change?
*How does the Holy Spirit work? *What role does hope play? *What is
the function of language? *How do we ask the right questions? *What
often lies behind depression? *How do we deal with anger? *What is
schizophrenia? These and hundreds more questions are answered in
this comprehensive resource for the Christian counselor. A full set
of indexes, a detailed table of contents, and a full complement of
diagrams and forms make this an outstanding reference book for
Christian counselors."

Who am I? Why am I here? Where am I going? Familiar questions in
our day and age. But has our search for answers led us too far in
the wrong direction: away from our true position in Christ and
toward a dangerous emphasis on self?
Recent decades have seen the rise of a powerful and influential
movement within the church. Identified by labels such as
"self-image," "self-esteem," "self-worth," and "self-love," this
movement has one common denominator--the emphasis on self.
Regardless of religious persuasion, everyone seems to be fighting
what they perceive to be a shared enemy: low self-esteem.
Now well-known biblical counselor and noted author Jay Adams
brings much-needed clarification to the area of self-esteem and
offers the church and every believer a truly biblical view of
self.
