Are you a people helper?

Virtually anyone with a desire to help others can be a people helper, but often those Christians who feel most called to counsel are unsure of how to use the Bible to ease another person’s problems.

This book is designed to guide you to a practical, working knowledge of Scripture and the basics of the Christian faith-the core of what Christian counselors must know to be truly effective in helping others. Writing for counselors, students, professionals, and lay people who desire to give genuine Christian help, the author discusses:

*What is meant by “Christian worldview” and why it’s essential to your counseling.
*The existence of God, how to know Him, and what His goodness can mean in the lives of those you help.
*The true message of Jesus Christ and its implications.
*The power of forgiveness.
*The roles of church and community in care-giving.
*How to apply biblical wisdom to issues not addressed in the Bible.

Most of the problems encountered in counseling are far too diverse and complex to be solved by quoting a Bible verse or by applying some pat biblical formula. But certainly the Bible, God’s revelation, gives a number of specific directions and many clear principles that can give us a framework for counseling and can form the basis of our Christian worldview.
