Counseling Books to add to your Library: Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands

by Deepak Reju

Do we leave counseling to the trained professionals, or do the leaders and members of your church need to take responsibility for the care of the sheep?  Counseling is time-consuming and difficult, but it's an important part of life in the body of Christ.  Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands helps pastors and church members envision what wise, godly counsel looks like.

Tripp sets forth a biblical model--LOVE, KNOW, SPEAK, DO--which gives you a framework to care for others.  This is not wooden formula, but wholehearted, Christ-centered approached to love and care for fellow believers. 

I often have pastors ask, "If I can just read one book on counseling, what would it be?"  If you can only read one book, this should be the book!   

If you are interested in more CCEF books, you can look at the New Growth Press website.
