Biblical Counseling Quick Reference Guide: Personal and Emotional Issues

by Tim Clinton

They come because you have a reputation for helping hurting people—people just like them. You’ve been there. You know how they feel because you’ve faced your own pain, and you “can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort [you] have received from God.” You may be a pastor, professional counselor, lay counselor or close friend who understands, but sometimes you could use a little more information about the problems people bring to you. Since the American Association of Christian Counselors began, people have asked us to produce a book full of information about a full range of topics, and they want to be able to access that information at a moment’s notice. That’s why we created the Biblical Counseling Quick Reference Guide. This volume on “Personal and Emotional Issues” addresses 40 topics, and for each one it typical symptoms and patterns; definitions and key thoughts; questions to ask; directions for the conversation; action steps; biblical insights; prayer; recommended resources. We hope God uses this book in your ministry to reach out and touch the lives of hurting people.
