A landmark textbook for Christian counselors that unpacks the core theological convictions behind sound counseling and outlines practical wisdom for counseling today. 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 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.

Those inside and outside of the biblical counseling movement recognize growing differences between the foundational work of Jay Adams and that of current thought leaders such as David Powlison. But, as any student or teacher of the discipline can attest, those differences have been ill-defined and largely anecdotal until now.Heath Lambert, the first scholar to analyze the movement’s development from within, shows how refinements in framework, methodology, and engagement style are changing the face of the biblical counseling movement as we know it—producing a second generation of counselors who are increasingly competent to counsel. Find out how the biblical counseling movement has changed and improved and how the present-day leadership differs from the leadership of the past, in a respectful effort to evaluate and advance the efficacy of biblical counseling.

Det er porno rundt oss på alle kanter. Den ødelegger ekteskap og skaper et forkvaklet syn på seksualitet. Dessverre finnes det mange kristne som ikke bare kjemper for å motstå pornoens fristelser; de er allerede avhengige. Å rive seg løs fra pornografiens klebrige nett - som mange kjenner så altfor godt - skjer ikke ved at man prøver enda hardere å slutte, eller følger bestemte metoder og teknikker. Den eneste sikre og effektive motivasjonen for endring er Jesu nåde. I denne boken peker Heath Lambert på åtte strategier som gir et veikart til forandring. Hvert kapittel er grunnfestet i nåden, og forklarer enkelt hva evangeliets budskap innebærer i praksis. Enten du kjemper denne kampen selv eller prøver å hjelpe noen som står i den, så finnes det gode nyheter: Jesus Kristus kan og vil sette mennesker fri fra pornografiens makt - han har allerede gjort det!
